Sidebars created by QuicklinksWithSubPages have duplicate entries
chrisdavidmills opened this issue · comments
Summary
Sidebars created using the QuicklinksWithSubPages macro look really bad, and they contain duplicate links. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/Firefox_tracking_protection for an example.
We are about to update this page, so also see mdn/content#30107 (comment) for a screenshot of what it used to look like.

@chrisdavidmills Is this still an issue? The page mentioned looks fine, no duplicates in the sidebar.

@argl This is because we merged the content PR where the issue was first noticed, and it now uses a different mechanism of creating the sidebar. You can see what it used to look like (when borked) at this comment: mdn/content#30107 (comment)
@chrisdavidmills Ok, understood, thank you!
Noticed a potential side effect of this. On pages with duplicate sidebar entries like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/Privacy_sandbox or https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/EXSLT/math, when selecting one of those topics the whole section gets highlighted.
This does not happen when selecting one of the sub-entries in that section.
