Template talk:Skip to top and bottom: Difference between revisions

On some pages, (such as the wp:teahouse) the buttons are covered by the table of contents or similar elements. I’m not 100% sure how the TOC works, so I am not sure how to format the buttons to appear above it. Otherwise, the template is nice, simple and useful, thanks!

@WelpThatWorked: The TOC is a floating element, it sits in front of elements that have an absolute position (like those buttons), unless certain steps are taken.  Fixed I added the CSS declaration z-index:1 (documentation) which forces the buttons in front of the TOC. —Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:49, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redrose64, Cool, thanks for explaining it, wonder if i’ll use it one day 😛 WelpThatWorked (talk) 23:07, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It’s nagged me a little bit that the buttons don’t have any interactivity (they don’t change when you hover over them or click them), so I tried playing around a bit to convert them to a button. I was able to do so, but not to quite get it to work. But if anyone else wants to take this to completion, check the sandbox here. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noted that the editor help panel (a feature intended for new editors that can be enabled in preferences) partly covers the skip to top and bottom buttons. Is there any option to change the position so that the buttons will be shown to new editors in entirety? Another option would be to make it possible to display buttons on the left side. —TadejM ^{my talk} 09:50, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can this template be enabled to display on all websites for me in my common.css page? Qwerty284651 (talk) 16:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’d prefer it if the “skip to top” button took the reader all the way to the top of the page (so I could then click on e.g. “Watchlist”), rather than to somewhere near the top. Maproom (talk) 16:41, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Home key is avalable for that. —Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some objections to the use of this template (e.g the buttons “obscure the desktop toggle on minerva (mobile)”) have been raised at Wikipedia talk:Village pump (technical)#Skip to top and bottom; could the template’s maintainers please take a look?

@Matrix: This edit has bugs. At Template:Skip to top and bottom, it isn’t fully at the top but weirdly at ~1/5 below the top of my screen. When I scroll, it is making it hard to read text. At WP:ITNC, it starts out at the bottom, then suddenly rises up to the weird position after I scroll past Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#Archives, and also overlaps text as I scroll. 174.138.218.72 (talk) 11:32, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It should be fixed now, could you please check? —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? – _c) 15:41, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Matrix: Um, now unless I scroll past the Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#Archives heading, I don’t see the Skip to bottom arrow, which makes it less useful. 174.138.218.72 (talk) 18:18, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please send a screenshot (you can upload to imgur or on Commons if you make an account). —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? – _c) 19:03, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Matrix: https://imgur.com/a/rkK3g1R It doesn’t happen if I zoom out to 150%. I usually browse Wikipedia at 170% to 200% zoom. 174.138.218.72 (talk) 19:32, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the screenshot didn’t upload properly. Maybe try imgbb.com? —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? – _c) 19:41, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I managed to recreate it and fix it. From now on, this template needs to be at the very top of the page. There is no other option to fix this template for Vector 2022 AFAIK. —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? – _c) 15:16, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed fixed! 174.138.218.72 (talk) 15:22, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
