Limited usefulness[edit]

As with all CSS solutions the number of users, as opposed to tech-savvy editors, who are going to be able to benefit from this is minuscule. __meco (talk) 16:02, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a CSS solution; it's a JS solution. As long as you know how to edit a page, then you can use this script. No knowledge of JS is necessary to use it. Plenty of users who are technically-challenged have scripts installed; as long as the instructions are easy to follow, then they are easy to install. This script in particular requires no settings to be set. Gary King (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I obviously don't know the difference between JS and CSS. __meco (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This should really be at User:Gary King/expand hidden templates (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), since that is where the .js page points you.
Can you make an option to add it to "navigation" cactions?

Both done. See Wikipedia:Expand_Hidden_Templates#Settings. Gary King (talk) 18:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I was unclear, I meant I wanted it to live in the "navigation" rather than the "toolbox" sidebar, both found on the left. –xeno^talk 18:49, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, "cactions" is the top bar. What you want is the navigation portlet. Gary King (talk) 18:58, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was trying to appear as if I knew what I was talking about. –xeno^talk 19:00, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay Wikipedia:Expand_Hidden_Templates#Settings Gary King (talk) 19:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Works great - thanks. –xeno^talk 19:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
