 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:If mobile (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
 | Note that {{If mobile}} only works outside of the Template: namespace. |
This template detects whether it is being used on the mobile version of Wikipedia (en.m.wikipedia.org), and displays different content accordingly. This should however NOT be relied upon. For instance; both versions of content will generally show up in things like search engines. You should generally AVOID using this template. If you need to adapt the layout of a page for mobile, then please use TemplateStyles and CSS.
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=divcan be used if the content contains block-level elements.
Example
