message: In the same way as numerals can be displayed either separately or grouped, I would like to be able to display letters either separately or grouped. :Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges contains entries primarily beginning with a numeral. If I were to add a TOC to that category, I would wish to display numerals separately and group the letters as A-Z. StraightAsADie (talk) 00:12, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Feature request 

message: In the same way as numerals can be displayed either separately or grouped, I would like to be able to display letters either separately or grouped. :Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges contains many entries beginning with a numeral and few entries beginning with a letter. I have manually coded a TOC for that page which groups letters as A-Z, but would prefer to use a standard template.
I have added the ability to group letters into this template's sandbox: :Template:Category TOC/sandbox. Updated documentation including test cases are in: :User:StraightAsADie/sandbox. Note that the documentation links to the sandbox. 
This change is completely backwards compatible with the current template. All existing instances of the template will display the same as they currently do. The new uppercase=group or lowercase=group parameters must be added to activate the new features.

message: Shouldn't  the text: should only be added to category pages and should not be used for categories containing less than 400 pages be removed from the description? It is not clear why a TOC cannot be added to any category of over 200 (maybe even less?) in this day and age when many are trying to access Wikipedia on very small screens?

replies: text: Am I making sense? Ottawahitech (talk) 16:23, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  The MediaWiki default is to display 200 items per page: having a table of contents for less than that would make anchors in the same document and wouldn't aid in navigation. I don't know about mobile: have you looked at any categories on a mobile device? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:43, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for responding Koavf. No, I have not looked at categories on a mobile recently, just threw this out to get some discussion going. As far as I am concerned I'd be happy with replacing the 400 with 200 in the text of this template. I do hope, though, that others would opine too.  Ottawahitech (talk) 13:38, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Opinions No problem. And I will happily accept some other standard or consensus but I don't see a lot of folks writing here as it's a pretty obscure template talk page. By all means, go for it. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:23, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I note that this template was on the list for conversion to  as far back as 2012 (pinging User:Thumperward); however, the conversion still hasn't happened, and from a brief skim I don't see any relevant discussion on this talk page either. Is this conversion still planned? Is there something holding it up? Is it just a matter of someone making the change? 「ディノ奴千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 05:24, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the link. I was able to make yet another adjustment to my common.css to work around this bug/oversight. I am wanting to like this beta skin, but I sure have had to work around a lot of bugs and unfinished coding (not to mention the design choices that are not my cup of tea). My favorite so far is the 24px of empty space at the top of the page (see ), which should have been the work of a moment to fix and a nice quick win for the team to trumpet, but it's been moldering for over a month. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:30, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The .toc class removal was a clear design choice of removal and has a basic rationale that it's simply not needed. The .toccolours class removal I'm less thrilled about. Izno (talk) 04:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
