Template:Navbar is indefinitely protected from editing as it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit protected}} to notify an administrator to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.
Further to the section above, the move option does not work correctly when the template name includes a space - using {{view|Example template|m}} produces
It makes no difference if the space is replaced by an underscore, nor if the first parameter is named - that is, {{view|Example template|m}}, {{view|Example_template|m}}, {{view|template=Example template|m}} and {{view|template=Example_template|m}} all yield identical results.
However, if the space is replaced by a plus sign, as in {{view|Example+template|m}} the move link is now correct, but the view link is broken:
So, for the time being remove from documentation, or add a heavy warning? DePiep (talk) 07:46, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
I highly doubt it's even in use, and the failure point is a small subset of potential template names, so I think "fix the issue" is preferable. That being said I, I haven't looked at it in too much detail but I suspect it has to do with how the module is creating the URLs for the links (much like how elink templates need to use {{urlencode}} to properly format URLs).

I edited Module:Navbar/sandbox with what I suspect will fix the problem. I would want to think about the change much more, and test it, before updating the main module. One of my edit summaries says Module:Navbar/sandbox was the same as Module:Navbar before I started. That is not quite correct—the sandbox has local cfg = mw.loadData('Module:Navbar/configuration/sandbox') whereas the main module omits /sandbox. That should be fixed before updating.

Custom css to display navigation templates on mobile?
Is there some custom css I can add to force unhiding navigation templates on mobile? I'm not concerned if they are ugly or affect the overall formatting of the articles they appear in. I just miss them. Folly Mox (talk) 12:47, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
This is the page for navbar (the v-t-e links) not navbox. Regardless of that, I don't think it's possible: the navbox HTML doesn't seem to be present in the HTML source for pages on mobile, so it's been suppressed by the MediaWiki software. --Redrose64🌹 (talk) 21:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Wrap any styles relating to `html.skin-theme-clientpref-night` in `@media screen`
