[EPIC] Get rid of MobileFrontend's special pages for changes list where equivalents exist in core
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

MobileFrontend provides its own special page replacements for:

  • History
  • Contributions
  • Watchlist
  • Diff

These are ridden with bugs and maintaining them is becoming a little overwhelming.

We should look to update the pages in core and remove these completely from MobileFrontend.

We should look to update the pages in core and remove these completely from MobileFrontend.

Or just remove them. I've just checked a diff with minerva skin on IceCatMobile and it's perfectly usable.
