@Izno: At Module talk:Sidebar/Archive 6#How to override "class=nomobile" to display sidebar in mobile view? you said "This cannot be overridden and that will not change". Did you only mean that there is no way to override an existing class=nomobile, or did you rule out adding a new sidebar option like mobile=yes to omit class=nomobile? I came from a discussion about {{NGC objects}} at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 January 4#Template:NGC objects. A long list is split into intervals so the articles are closer tied together than normal sidebars and this sidebar is very narrow. I think an option to omit nomobile would sometimes be nice.

- Ruling both out. I can reinstate
vertical-navbox if we prefer just to make it more opaque ;). It's not about how narrow or wide sidebars are, it's about how much HTML they dump into the page that isn't used in mobile. Izno (talk) 20:19, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Which maybe doesn't make my true preference clear of course - which is that everything is displayed at all resolutions (or at least until this module is deleted, which is probably my truest preference, for various reasons). What I'm doing is respecting the WMF's choice to remove these elements from mobile. Izno (talk) 20:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
After Template:Feminism sidebar got reorganized, a bunch of transclusions no longer automatically expand the correct section. For example, the article Feminist theory in composition studies automatically expands the "Concepts" section even though the article is now listed under the "Theory" section. Something I realized is that expanding the section that contains a link to the current article might be something that could be done automatically, so that editors no longer have to manually specify the section to auto-expand on every article where a sidebar is included.
