My wiki for https://interstellar-space-genesis.fandom.com/wiki has a large number of key concepts, many with appropriate icons, that are used all over the place, and many of them aren't immediately obvious to new players like Planetary Engineering and Ecological Level.

So I have a template for all of those that displays the icon if it has one; the normal text or an override to only display the icon; a tooltip using https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/Tooltips; and a link to the main page or section for that concept.

The result is many pages end up with a large number of repetitive links to pages they aren't really directly related to. For instance, many buildings boost Production or Planetary Engineering, so the Buildings page ends up with many links to those pages and just a couple of links to Infrastructure, which actually is a closely related concept to Buildings. I do have a category structure in which Colonies contains Buildings and Infrastructure.

So my question is: is this practice going to confuse google about the actual relations of pages to each other, or penalize the page for so many repetitive links? I liked the links because they are convenient to a user wanting to read more on the concept and mobile users who can't see the tooltips.

An extreme example is https://interstellar-space-genesis.fandom.com/wiki/Buildings -- every icon in the building notes used to be a link mainly for mobile users who didn't know what the icon stood for and couldn't see the tool tip, though I have removed most of those links afraid they would confuse google, so now they are just images--but I would like to add the links back. A page without the links removed is https://interstellar-space-genesis.fandom.com/wiki/Planetary_Engineering.

Without using style="display: hidden", etc., this is the best I've come up with:

Template:IsDesktop type:Navigation

{{#if:1|1}}

This looks insane, but is required--see below.

Template:Mobile type:Data

{{#ifeq:{{IsDesktop}}|1|{{{2|}}}|{{{1|}}}}}

TestPage:

{{Mobile|This shows on mobile|This shows on desktop}}

It *works*, and even allows completely separate mobile pages with {{Mobile|{{:TestPageMobile}}|{{:TestPageDesktop}}}}.

But it is relying on functionality that violates the documentation. IsDesktop shouldn't even execute on mobile per the docs on Navigation type templates (and I've tried the others that are supposed to be non-mobile)--but it does, at least partially.

If IsDesktop is changed to just "1", it returns 1 on both mobile and desktop, though per the docs it shouldn't even execute. "{{#if:1|1}}" on the other hand, which should always return 1 if it does execute, only returns 1 on desktop. Change it to "<onlyinclude>{{#if:1|1}}</onlyinclude>" and it goes back to returning 1 in both cases.

I don't like relying on functionality that violates the documentation--though if they changed it to follow the documentation the above would still work.

Has anyone come up with a better method? I don't want to use the style thing because I want long sections different on mobile and it seems a waste to send both sections to the client.

Does anyone know what type of Discord Integration is used on this wiki, and if so do you also know if it's available for public use? I like the look of the widget on this wiki compared to the look of the regular Discord Integrator.

Thanks!

I tried following the step-by-step manual of linking my Wiki's Official Discord Server into the sidebar. Everything worked, except it's endlessly loading. I tried linking it at the bottom of a page and that seems to work, but the sidebar link is endlessly loading. I followed every single instruction word by word. Please help.

Does the main article template {{Main|SomePage}} provide any benefit over just typing "Main article: [[SomePage]]"? Does the template provide some additional information to Fandom or search engines? If not, why does it exist?

As far as I can tell it just spits out a div with the classes "notice hatnote context-link main dablink"

Hi! I'm a frequent user of the RecentChangesMultiple module, as I make regular use of one installation of it in one of my subpages for monitoring various wikis that I work on in my spare time.

As such, I'd like to be able to have an installation of this for the wikis that I work on as part of my job at Fandom (a separate one from my normal version so that I can look at them separately based on whether I'm working or not).

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to install another copy of the module. If someone could help me do that, that would be greatly appreciated!

(If it helps, the wikis that I'd like to have start in this module are the Hitman Wiki and the Tannisho Wiki.)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a webhook that logs wiki activity for a discord server using channel webhooks, thanks.

Hello.

Sorry, English is not my native language

I made a spelling error when creating a new script.

I ask to rename
