== Treating [[Module:Navbar/styles.css]] ==

{{ping|Izno}} Is it right not to treat [[Module:Navbar/styles.css]] in add_list_styles() whether sidebar has a navbar or not? If an article page transcludes a sidebar (with a navbar) and another navbar in this order, the styles doesn't seem to be applied on mobile view.

:add_list_styles is just for the two kinds of lists and is about the classes that have been added since eternity in the several templates (infobox also). Both navbox and sidebar have instead move_hiding_templatestyles which will take care of embedded TemplateStyles tags. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 17:32, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
::Okay, but on some pages (ex. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finder_(software)#Timeline Finder_(software)]) on mobile view, navbars are actually displayed in unintended styles because [[Module:Navbar/styles.css]] isn't used. How about modifying this module [[Special:Diff/1129707986/1265334216|like this]] and output an additional templatestyles tag if navbar is used?

== Option to omit nomobile? ==

{{ping|Izno}} At [[Module talk:Sidebar/Archive 6#How to override "class=nomobile" to display sidebar in mobile view?]] you said "This cannot be overridden and that will not change". Did you only mean that there is no way to override an existing <code>class=nomobile</code>, or did you rule out adding a new sidebar option like <code>mobile=yes</code> to omit <code>class=nomobile</code>? I came from a discussion about {{tl|NGC objects}} at [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 January 4#Template:NGC objects]]. A long list is split into intervals so the articles are closer tied together than normal sidebars and this sidebar is very narrow. I think an option to omit nomobile would sometimes be nice.

:Ruling both out. I can reinstate <code>vertical-navbox</code> if we prefer just to make it more opaque ;). It's not about how narrow or wide sidebars are, it's about how much HTML they dump into the page that isn't used in mobile. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 20:19, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
:Which maybe doesn't make my true preference clear of course - which is that everything is displayed at all resolutions (or at least until this module is deleted, which is probably my truest preference, for various reasons). What I'm doing is respecting the WMF's choice to remove these elements from mobile. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 20:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

== Should there be a way to automatically open up the relevant section of the sidebar? ==

After [[Template:Feminism sidebar]] got reorganized, a bunch of transclusions no longer automatically expand the correct section. For example, the article [[Feminist theory in composition studies]] automatically expands the "Concepts" section even though the article is now listed under the "Theory" section. Something I realized is that expanding the section ''that contains a link to the current article'' might be something that could be done automatically, so that editors no longer have to manually specify the section to auto-expand on every article where a sidebar is included.

== How get "alt" text for the image ==

In article [[Atlanta Compromise]], it is using an InfoBox [[Template:Nadir of American race relations]] .. that infobox has an image in it.  How can I add "alt" text for the image, to assist visually impaired users of the encyclopedia?  I couldn't  find instructions for alt text in this module page.  [[User:Noleander|Noleander]] ([[User talk:Noleander|talk]]) 01:39, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Noleander}} [[Template:Nadir of American race relations]] has <syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext>{{Sidebar with collapsible lists
...
| image = [[File:Le Petit Journal 7 Oct 1906 (cropped).jpg|232px|class=notpageimage]]
...
}}</syntaxhighlight> and you would add the alt text inside that image specification using {{para|alt}}, see [[WP:EIS#Alt text and caption]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:57, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
