I just copied this template (and the ones it uses Template:LargeCategoryTOC/a-z and Template:Navigation bar) for use on http://filkipedia.chaoscircle.com , an index of filk songs. Thanks for it! JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:17, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
When should this template be used, in other words roughly how many pages would constitute a large category? Thanks. -- Jameboy ( talk) 18:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
There is no discussion here to change the parameter from a-z to aejot. Was there a Tfd session? The change makes it more difficult to get to the articles in Category:Biography articles without listas parameter that have diacritics in the first or second position. I was sorely tempted to undo the change but I did not want to upset anyone. JimCubb ( talk) 21:04, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Why would someone choose this template over {{ Large category TOC 2}}?
On my browser, this template has a horizontal scroll bar that is 13 screen widths wide. Does this show differently for some people, in some way that is better than the display of {{ Large category TOC 2}}? For me, {{ Large category TOC 2}} displays as a wrapped list.
Compare Category:Surnames, which uses this TOC template, with Category:Pages using citations with accessdate and no URL, which uses the TOC 2 template. I don't see the advantage of the scrolling TOC, but I'd love to learn if there is one. I imagine that it's possible there is some historical reason why this template was used more than the TOC 2 template. Anyone? – Jonesey95 ( talk) 01:05, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
This template has room for improvement. This is reflecting badly on SEO. The links are two close together. Can someone investigate? Jon (WMF) ( talk) 19:48, 18 September 2015 (UTC) Jon (WMF) ( talk) 19:48, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
I first raised this issue in the Surnames talk page and I've been told to say it here. Some of the sections for the template have become things like "Aj/At", "Bj/Bt" when they should've been "Ai/Au" and such, and I wonder how that happened. I was told that the template was changed months ago so I'm wonder if this can be fixed? Thanks. -- BrydoF1989 ( talk) 15:58, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Can anybody provide further assistance regarding this matter? (Ideally, please ping me when responding.) Thanks in advance for any support. Best wishes-- Hildeoc ( talk) 15:22, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Module:Large category TOC has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please make the sandboxed edit. The module currently produces double spaces between many of the links. On Safari (Mac and iOS in desktop view), this causes the table of contents to exceed the width of the the div and to overflow off the right side of the window (or into the Tools sidebar). The edit fixes this by having a space at the beginning of each concatenated string, not also at the end.
On Chrome and Firefox, both versions look identical (which is the correct behavior, since HTML treats double spaces like a single space). You can see both versions at Template:Large category TOC/testcases. To speculate about why this odd glitch occurs, I suppose Safari thinks the double spaces will be twice as long as a single space but displays them as a single space.
