Hi Fishtank there is something I'd like to do on a number of my wikis but I don't know how to set up the programming.

If you look at Wookipedia, they have these nice tabs along the top of the page, that let you switch between more than one version of the topic without having to create multiple pages.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Han_Solo

For the purpose of series that have multiple canons/continuities/timelines I'd like to be able to have a general information tab for something that might be essentially basic overview of a topic, followed several other tabs each for specific timeline. For example Wolfenstein series could be split into possibly up to four or five tabs based on the different series splits and reboots, and timelines. But I'd like it to be loose enough that there can be more or fewer tabs depending on the need of the content.

Over on Wing Commander Wiki it might be useful to split into two tabs, the 'hybrid' history for main 'canon', then tab for specifics to the games (which might contain more technical gameplay related materials and general basics of the storyline form the games only).

Then there is my Sierra wikis stuff like King's Quest or Gabriel Knight, or Police Quest, which also have essentially reboots or multiple timelines/storylines... It might be useful to have at tab for each one. For example Graham right now has the main page which is for the classic canon, but I have another page which is for the reboot canon. Right now those two pages are enough for the tabs. But a third tab for 'fan related' material might also be useful as well. But it would be nice to condense what is 3 pages into one page with tabs to switch between them.

Gabriel Knight would need 2-3 tabs, one for the original series, one for the 20th anniversary reboot, and the novels themselves.

Police Quest also has a need for a tab for both original series timeline, and PQ1 remake timeline, and finally the novels information. Not every article would need the PQ1 tab, but most would probably need the option of at least 2 tabs if possible.

Of course not every page would need the tab system, just only pages that are already split into two or more separate continuity pages.

I would appreciate any help with this if possible!Baggins (talk) 19:54, November 15, 2017 (UTC)
