→‎Cargo Tables: Add a thanks for the reply and a small suggestion to fix the tables that overflow off page on medium sized laptops and PCs

:::::::DPL3 is now maintained by a dev over at Miraheze wiki farm (they have a large user base so should be stable enough). It does not make or require database changes (no need to run update script via SSH) like Cargo does, and thus can be activated and deactivated easily without long-term consequence or maintenance burden, though it is more limited (and functional richness should intentionally be limited to 4, not 5 its full functional richness). It seems to work fine with special characters and other languages (I think), though there are some resource expensive functions that should be avoided, its ability to create self-updating, aggregated data tables from infobox parameter values is exceptionally nice if one can't do a full solution like Cargo. I have used DPL3 a fair bit, so am curious if this was considered in lieu of cargo. Or if they would consider installing it for examples/testing. If they were, I'd be happy to help out with examples on how to use it, since its documentation isn't ideal.

:::::::::Thanks for confirming Margotbean, I thought this was probably the case but figured I'd ask anyhow, just in case. I can play with MW data displays off-site for this. Thanks for the reply. Oh, on another topic, have you considered adjusting the Vector CSS to force extra wide tables to automatically scroll (shift + scroll wheel does a nice job of horizontal scroll on PCs, and works fine on touch-screens) instead of allowing contents to overflow off the bounds of the page? This is a problem on tablet PCs and screens that aren't large monitors where the mobile theme is too small to kick in. I just did an override of this in my [[User:CrystalFlower/vector.css|User CSS]], but would perhaps be nice for all users to be able to view large tables on medium monitor sizes such as laptops and tablet PCs (many tables overflowed on my Surface Pro without this).
