Hey. I dropped by your wall to avoid pinging Skylent, who seems happy.

So what you are saying is that tabs just aren't portable no matter how you do it? The infobox image tabbers are partial in functionality and are portable. This is by design. The nested tabbers physically do more. Not well, but more.

Also, who is it you addressed #7 to? I addressed #7 to the OP, to provide an alternative to nested tabbers that works best for future editors, readers and the site. The intention was to help.

It sounds like you don't want Wikia to add it natively yet there is no staff here yet. Even so, no one was suggesting that. Ah. The OP referred to avoiding "heavy coding", which was sadly impossible. I thought it would be helpful to explain why they have to use four templates, 40 lines of template code and two scripts in order to get nested tabbers working.

It was clear this was not desired, so I explained the dependencies of the Switch template. At that point, it was clear that giving the code was the most I could help.

If you think I could have posed the alternative in a better way, then you are probably not wrong. It is singularly hard to address a coding issue in a respectful way. I also found it hard to "recommend" a solution that is not best practice from a technical or design perspective.
