Template:If mobile
 | 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
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
{{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
