Your question about empty sections

[edit]

Hello! I wanted to let you know that the Weather of 2022#Deadliest events section is not actually empty. There are two collapsed templates in it; Template:Deadliest meteorological events in 2022 & Template:Deadliest U.S. meteorological events in 2022. Both templates are collapsed, so you have to click the “[Show]” button on the right side of the template banners. It is similar to the Tornado records#Lists of damage and fatality records section which only also has templates that are collapsed. Hope that helps!

@Elijahandskip (talk · contribs) I can see the templates when I edit. But unfortunately readers aren’t able to see it, because the templates are invisible.

That is probably a visual glitch on your end. The templates seem to be visible to everyone else (I asked on the WP:DISCORD and multiple people were able to see them). Elijahandskip (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just found out why. If you are viewing it from a mobile device, the templates won’t show. Visual glitch which is Wikipedia-wide. No way to see the templates on mobile view. So to see them, you should switch to desktop view (basically view the article on a computer). Elijahandskip (talk) 19:40, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Elijahandskip (talk · contribs) Ok, I understand it now. For a moment there I thought there literally was an empty section 😂.

Good news actually! Per discussions with others (on the discord and at one of the technical help pages), the templates are going to be switched to normal tables. I'm starting with the tornado articles (i.e. Tornadoes of 2022) and will move to the Weather of (Year) articles after that. Elijahandskip (talk) 20:39, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Elijahandskip (talk · contribs) I’m glad their able to be made into tables. That way mobile readers won’t get confused, and they will be able to see the templates.
