== What links here? == | |||
[[User:Prod]] thanks for the Discord invitation, but I like being able look up previously asked questions. | |||
[[Special:WhatLinksHere]] is useless here because {{t|Header Nav}} and {{t|Footer Nav}} are including the entire table of contents. I didn't even know ''why'' it was broken until I looked at it and discovered that the header/footer nav templates are doing this. | |||
I honestly never even noticed that little "[show]" link and I bet many visitors overlook it. And those who don't may or may not use it. I'm a bit shocked: above there is severe concern about the performance impact of a #switch element (which is ridiculously cheap), but the table of contents is transcluded ''twice'' on every single page, which (compared to a #switch) costs a fortune. And the reality is that the table of contents is now shown ''three times'' on every guide page, because it was already available on the left. | |||
There are a few ways this could be improved.. The obvious one being to remove the ToC from the header/footer nav templates and just point users to the ToC on the left. Another option could be to use plain links on the ToC of every single guide ToC. (would require a bot and users to learn to use a template to link pages on the ToC, so probably not very attractive) Or perhaps load the ToC in the header/footer nav ondemand using JS. | |||
Either way I'd really like to be able to use WhatLinksHere because when splitting/merging pages, I have to replace the links in any pages that ''actually'' link to it. [[User:Lite Grooves|Lite Grooves]] ([[User talk:Lite Grooves|talk]]) 20:31, 12 February 2020 (UTC) | |||
