It's best to include the TOC link in the same floating box rather than create another template, which would take up more space along with an unsightly separation. Besides which, this is generally only placed on pages with long headers, so the TOC link will be useful. I created this template recently; ie. this wasn't placed by people who would consider the new effect unintended. I've re-added the TOC link, but this time with a parameter to switch it off.

This really screws up Classic Skin, as the box appears over the user/talk links, preferences, etc, in the top right. I'll upload a screenshot when I get the chance. Is it possible to move it elsewhere? An optimist on the run! 16:45, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

This template rather annoyingly obscures a major part of the top search bar on Minivera. Can class="nomobile" be added to the template to prevent it from messing up the mobile interface ? — f r + 15:13, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
@ Rfc1394: As an admin, when I visit Wikipedia:Requests for page protection I see "Administrator instructions" and "Skip to TOC • Skip to bottom" links at the top of the article. Problem: they overlap. The overlap is caused by the recent edit to this template. I could fiddle with the new force parameter and see if that works, but what about other pages and possibly other float templates? By the way, the instructions at Template:Skip to bottom/doc mention "This change was made intentionally" but it would not be no clear to someone coming to the documentation what that means. I rarely use a mobile device for Wikipedia—does a browser on the mobile site respect the various float templates? What about the mobile apps? I don't particularly care about the overlap but I'm wondering if the issue should be mentioned at WP:VPT so others with knowledge of relevant float templates might consider how they interact.

There seems to be a bug with Template:Skip to bottom. On WP:AN, the template seems to overlap with other templates. This mainly happens when I'm logged out. I tried fixing it myself, but I had no luck with it. Can you figure out what's wrong with it and fix it for me please? Interstellarity ( talk) 17:06, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
A small floating box with "skip to bottom/skip to TOC" links will appear in the upper-right corner.If you're still having trouble, a screen shot might help. Also let us know what browser, version, and operating system you are using. (BTW for other troubleshooters: the template is transcluded via {{ Noticeboard links}}.)– Jonesey95 ( talk) 17:54, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

User:Mathglot, thank you for
the revert. It seems that the problem with
my edit comes from converting {{{notoc}}}
to {{{notoc|}}}
in the first of the places where it is used. Unfortunately, I don't have bandwidth to investigate this further. —

Not sure best way to address this, seems like the TOC link is fairly useless with vector-2022's new TOC's - any way to autosuppress on skin? — xaosflux Talk 16:24, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
Adds a small floating box in the upper-right corner of the page, with "skip to bottom" and "skip to TOC" links . May be placed on Talk pages (or other non-article pages) when appropriate. This usually means pages in the "Talk:", Wikipedia:" and "Help:" namespaces."
@ Mathglot Hi, The name of template is "Skip to bottom", so its functionality should be only skipping to bottom and "Skip to TOC" is redundant, unless we change the name of this template to "Skip to main parts".
Additionally, "Skip to TOC" has the link " #toc" and this link is totally useless in the Vector 2022. Therefore, we can remove that in this Vector. Do you agree? Hooman Mallahzadeh ( talk) 09:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

TemplateStyles can target skins, so it is possible to remove a template from one skin and not another. I generally advise against it, but here might be a reasonable use given how the TOC is done in Vector 22. A stylesheet for such might look like this:
.skip-to-bottom {
border: 1px solid #a9a9a9;
background:#fff;
padding:1px 4px 0;
font-size:90%;
}
.skip-to-bottom-noindicator {
font-size:85%; /* likely due to different sizes in the rest of the UI */
float:right;
margin:0.8em 9em 0.5em 0;
}
body.skin-vector-2022 .skip-to-bottom {
display: none;
}
