:::::But why do you really object? Fetching 100% of the guide (or half, or a third, in case of long guides) is perfectly doable for those who want that and (if we had to make a choice) infinitely preferable over infinite scroll. No changes are needed to existing guide pages, there would just be one (or two or three for long guides) additional pages that show more pages at once.

:Please understand that there wouldn't be any obligation for these to be created. If anyone wants to, they would have to create a version in one or a few pages themselves for any given guide. I'm just asking if it's not ''forbidden'' to do that and (if it's not forbidden) to make some small changes to {{t|Header Nav}}, {{t|Footer Nav}} and {{t|Sidebar}} (protected templates so I can't) that won't affect any existing guide page.

::{{t|Header Nav}} and {{t|Footer Nav}} are used on _every single page_ in the main content space on the site. They are purposely kept as simple as possible. Adding switch statements and and a subpage check to every page just for the small percentage who want a onepage guide is not going to happen. Really, the only way this can be accomplished cleanly is via some kind of extension on the backend. Also, {{t|sidebar}} is often used for showing differences between versions, so depending on the guide, it could be critical to include. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 20:57, 10 February 2020 (UTC) | |||
