If there is no space the index is hidden by default.

In this case, a dynamic bar shows up at the bottom with an index button. Like [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/integrations-index/308033).

The above only happens if there is 1 replies or more. Most of my docs have zero replies, like [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-wp-discourse-webhooks/311552) - in this case the same index button does not show up.

Not sure if this is a bug, or should be a feature 😛

@awesomerobot I think we we recently refactored this, is this an on-purpose omission?

I totally get that documentation categories may want this (and to restrict replying)

Unless I misunderstand this can already be prevented with permissions or closing topics 🤔

Hmm I see, this is narrow views in desktop view, not mobile view, right?

It seems by default we hide the topic progress bar on desktop with \< 2 replies, so because of this the table of contents can’t appear.

Curiously, we don’t do this on mobile… so maybe we should remove it.

```js
const hideOnShortStream = !this.site.mobileView && filteredPostsCount < 2;

```
