Our table of contents should behave exactly like the Wikipedia mobile site. On tablets it looks like [http://i.imgur.com/sG6KAQG.png this] and on phones everything is collapsed and the section headers serve as the TOC. Navigation bars being hidden is a design choice, also just like on Wikipedia, to keep the bottom of articles from being this huge thing of tables. They maybe shouldn't be used in the body of articles but it is possible to bring them back. What is an example of hover text? --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 18:48, 31 August 2014 (UTC) | Our table of contents should behave exactly like the Wikipedia mobile site.

:The problem with the section headers serving as the ToC is they don't show sub-sections and we tend to include a lot of sub-sections in our articles, making the need to jump to a specific one important. Could the phones have a collapsed ToC like the tablets, or something similar? Can navigation bars be collapsible in mobile viewing? If so, they shouldn't pose much of a hindrance when they're visible.

::I tried forcing the table of contents to display with CSS but that didn't work. I brought back nav templates and copied over the collapsible code, but they didn't collapse. Another annoying thing about the nav templates is that they are always hidden under the last section, whether it be External links, Trivia etc. and they don't really belong under those headings. I added the dotted underline to hover text but I think that was removed as a design choice too. The hover text already worked - you can test it on a desktop in mobile view. But touchscreen browsers may not implement that ability so since it doesn't work on those devices the text was made to look normal. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 22:06, 31 August 2014 (UTC) | |||
