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.
This template is responsive and displays differently in mobile and desktop view. Read the documentation for an explanation of the differences and why they exist.
