Editing Template talk:Navbox-IBMComputers (section)

== Entries with no page yet ==

This navbox lists the full model range, including machines the wiki has not
covered. Entries without a page are rendered as '''plain grey text''' rather
than as red links:

<pre>&lt;span class="navbox-unwritten"&gt;Model name&lt;/span&gt;</pre>

A navbox is transcluded on hundreds of articles, so its red links appear on
every one of them &mdash; this template alone was putting several hundred red
links on each page that used it. Greying them out keeps the model range visible
without that.

'''When you write one of these pages''', convert its entry back to an ordinary
link. `wiki-tooling/navbox_greyout.py` does both directions automatically
against the wiki's live page list &mdash; run it after any batch of new pages:

<pre>python3 navbox_greyout.py          # report only
python3 navbox_greyout.py --apply  # edit the navboxes</pre>

The <code>.navbox-unwritten</code> style is defined in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]
and has a dark-mode variant.
