Template:If mobile

Template documentation

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:If mobile/styles.css

Note that {{If mobile}} only works outside of the Template: namespace.

This template detects whether it is being used on the mobile version of Wikimedia (meta.m.wikimedia.org), and displays different content accordingly.

Rationale edit

Some features work differently on the mobile website, such as slideshow galleries appearing as ordinary galleries. This template allows better presentation of such content, by e.g. having a "Slideshow" heading when a slideshow is shown, and a "Gallery" heading when a regular gallery is shown.

Usage edit

{{If mobile|content for mobile website|content for desktop website}}

By default, <span>...</span> tags are used to wrap the specified content. A different tag may be specified using |tag=

E.g. |tag=div can be used if the content contains block-level elements.

Example edit

Normal usage edit

{{If mobile|A mobile user you are!|You are looking at the desktop site}}
