Additionally, [https://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Floatingtoc&limit=500 floatingtoc has been used on over 2,000 pages], and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done so to use the previously empty space beside it, particularly when it's long, not just for text but also for tables and images (maps): the addition of swsquaread will have affected the layout at the top of many of those pages.

:I'm tempted to blank the template so it doesn't actually do anything. There's always the possibility the ad gets moved elsewhere in the next version of the skin and the template becomes useful again. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 01:27, 23 November 2018 (UTC) | :I'm tempted to blank the template so it doesn't actually do anything.

:: Floatingtoc is still useful, since nothing can normally be placed beside a standard ToC and some, like on KotORII's [[Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords/Feats|Feats]] page, are so long that even with the new ad there's still plenty of empty space that could be used with a floatingtoc, regardless of whether it's on the left or right (although there'd be more useable space if it were on the left). | |||
:: I'm planning to upload maps for [[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic]] (and later its sequel) with numbers corresponding to ToC entries, instead of text labels like those currently on the map for the [[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Command Module|Command Module]]. {{t|KotOR/Header}} uses a floatingtoc so that it's alongside the map (or screenshot), like a key or legend: I've already reduced the image size to accomodate the ad, and since I use a guide-specific template, I could update it if you blanked floatingtoc (and possibly add introductory paragraphs and summary tables to fill the space beside the ad so that I could enlarge the image again alongside the floating ToC below)... but I'd be surprised if I'm the only one who's used floatingtoc in this way. | |||
:: If the ad is necessary, then I'd suggest trying to move it to the sidebar on the left (perhaps above or below Tools?). If it stays where it is then I can work around it: it's not as bad as Wikia, where those ads have massive columns of empty space beneath them, for the entire page length.
