Further to the section above, the move option does not work correctly when the template name includes a space - using {{view|Example template|m}} produces

note that the second link displays as "templatemove" and the link goes to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Movepage&target=Template:Example which is not what is intended - the link should display as "move" and the link should be https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Movepage&target=Template:Example_template

It makes no difference if the space is replaced by an underscore, nor if the first parameter is named - that is, {{view|Example template|m}}, {{view|Example_template|m}}, {{view|template=Example template|m}} and {{view|template=Example_template|m}} all yield identical results.

However, if the space is replaced by a plus sign, as in {{view|Example+template|m}} the move link is now correct, but the view link is broken:

It seems that there is no way to have both the view and move links correct. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:20, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This bug is presumably in Module:Navbar. Curiously, Module talk:Navbar redirects here, but Template talk:View redirects to Template talk:VTE. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:25, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Same with {{v}}:

{{v|Example template|m}}}} produces . -DePiep (talk) 12:29, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, so I've set up some testcases at Template:Navbar/testcases#Demonstrating bug in move option. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:20, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So, for the time being remove from documentation, or add a heavy warning? DePiep (talk) 07:46, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I highly doubt it's even in use, and the failure point is a small subset of potential template names, so I think "fix the issue" is preferable. That being said I, I haven't looked at it in too much detail but I suspect it has to do with how the module is creating the URLs for the links (much like how elink templates need to use {{urlencode}} to properly format URLs).

I edited Module:Navbar/sandbox with what I suspect will fix the problem. I would want to think about the change much more, and test it, before updating the main module. One of my edit summaries says Module:Navbar/sandbox was the same as Module:Navbar before I started. That is not quite correct—the sandbox has local cfg = mw.loadData('Module:Navbar/configuration/sandbox') whereas the main module omits /sandbox. That should be fixed before updating.

Is there some custom css I can add to force unhiding navigation templates on mobile? I'm not concerned if they are ugly or affect the overall formatting of the articles they appear in. I just miss them. Folly Mox (talk) 12:47, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the page for navbar (the v-t-e links) not navbox. Regardless of that, I don't think it's possible: the navbox HTML doesn't seem to be present in the HTML source for pages on mobile, so it's been suppressed by the MediaWiki software. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Well, thanks for the info 😔 Folly Mox (talk) 22:16, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please change the links to use Special:EditPage and Special:PageHistory, as I have done here. We don't need to use the fullurl for those two links. SWinxy (talk) 00:55, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
