![Greek lc beta.svg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Greek_lc_beta.svg/40px-Greek_lc_beta.svg.png) | This template is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
The desktop and mobile browsing interfaces on Wikipedia differ substantially, and sometimes different templates are more or less suitable for a specific interface. For this reason certain templates do not display in mobile view, using the class = "nomobile"
- As of March 2017, only the
"nomobile"
-class is implemented, and "nodesktop"
/ "mobileonly"
classes do nothing because they are not enabled in MediaWiki:Common.css or MediaWiki:Mobile.css — this means only the {{Template display|nomobile}}
or {{Template display|desktoponly}}
have any use.
This template does not itself control where content is displayed. It is only intended for template documentation to say where another template displays.
