Forum:Showhide

Is there anyways to make the navboxes like on Wikipedia, eg: show the show/hide links on the header instead of below it? Thanks, -- Kangaroopowah ( Talk ) 05:15, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Have an example of what you are talking about, because from what I have seen of Wikiedpia templates, they look like this which is already used on many wikis like here.--
 * Yeah but those are tables, not navboxes. -- Kangaroopowah ( Talk ) 05:27, January 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia's javascript for collapsible elements is different to the Show/Hide javascript commonly employed on Wikia, so in most cases you won't be able to achieve precisely the same effects. So unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about unless you want to create your own version or attempt to use Wikipedia's (I'm not sure their's works on Wikia). If you're patient, though, you can wait until Wikia upgrades to MediaWiki 1.18, in which collapsible elements become a native feature. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  09:37, January 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * What do you mean about the examples being "tables, not navboxes"? As far as I know, most navboxes are tables of some sort. For example, The Vault uses a show/hide function in their navboxes that will definitely work on Wikia (example). --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 17:44, January 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Some folks use -based navboxes, but unless the navbox is pretty simple, tables are usually easier to use and more versatile (Bleach wiki uses a table). Also, the example you gave, Gardimuer, is not on a Wikia wiki (falloutwiki.com is hosted by Curse), so it doesn't really inspire confidence. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 17 Jan 2012 4:02 PM Pacific


 * The Vault was a Wikia wiki and forked to new hosting only a few months ago. Their show/hide code is still the same as when they were on Wikia. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 00:41, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
