The same or different to climate change nav box?[edit]

How is this climate change sidebar the same or different to the climate change navigation box that goes at the bottom of the article? Do we really need to have both? Which of them work better on a mobile device? The nav box looks like this:

I was intending for this to be a truncated navbox for only the core topics. Kind of like how there are dual navboxes and sidebars for a lot of major topics, e.g. Template:COVID-19 pandemic and Template:COVID-19 pandemic sidebar, Template:George W. Bush and Template:George W. Bush series, and even Template:Green politics which can be formatted as a sidebar or main navbox. Not sure answers for the other two questions but those were my thoughts.

Thanks for this explanation. I wonder if there is a general emerging trend to focus more on those sidebars than on the navboxes? They do jump out more - which has pros and cons (they do take up a fair bit of prime screen space at the top, too). But neither of them appear to be visible from the mobile version of Wikipedia?

Not to be used?[edit]

I thought we had concluded that this sidebar is not to be used because we don't have a "series of topics on climate change". Rather use the side bars that are more specific, e.g. the one on climate change and society, right? See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Climate_change#Do_we_really_need_a_climate_change_sidebar? So I think it should be removed from those articles where it had been added. EMsmile (talk) 08:50, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
