Template talk:Tabber

I created this template as a compromise to this issue (I even suggested it there, but it went unnoticed). Despite having copied it from the SmashWiki template of the same name, whenever I preview it, it doesn't work the way it does there. Why is this? RickTommy (talk) 21:34, July 18, 2021 (EDT)

The template needs some extra stuff to function, but anyway, I don't like tabbers here. Best to just pick one infobox image and put the rest in galleries. --Steve (talk) 22:31, July 18, 2021 (EDT)

Use

I'm all for creative coding to make things look better, but the fact of the matter is tabber requires JavaScript to be both available and enabled to function properly. Without it, only the first image is visible, and the rest are hidden. If this is going to be used, there needs to be an alternative programmed in for if JavaScript is undetected.

I don't like it

It's been tripping me up lately, especially for minigames with multiple variants such as Mario's Puzzle Party. It's been a few times I've been trying to locate the some content in the article (in the example, 1player mode in Mario Party Superstars), with no avail, until I found out it's tucked in a particular spot inside a particular tabber. I think the wiki has given this a chance, and I'm not seeing much compliments for its use in the wiki. I really disliked its use in ZeldaWiki as well. I haven't voted on the proposals that gave tabber the green light. I'm gonna eventually put my complaint to action on this, unless someone else beats me to it. Mario^-HOHO!

Godspeed. I see exactly one potential use for this, and it is very much the opposite of what it is currently being used for: showing multiple images in prose sections of a game page, with images that already separately exist in the game's gallery. Like, if MKW were to have one for its kart images to show the different colors. The infobox thing is just clunky, though. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:16, January 17, 2024 (EST)

https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Tabber You can at least help remove inappropriate instances of it. Its application is strictly for two kinds of infoboxes: minigames and race courses. Everything else should not be using tabber for the time being. Mario^-HOHO!
