I'm not very familiar with using Phabricator so forgive me if I'm not reporting this in the correct way...

Interesting. Thanks for the report!

@Pcoombe do you know if this might fit in with the current testing schedule?

@Wittylama - where are you located? you say it's happening frequently... is it also consistent? for how long has this been happening?

Thanks again

@atgo:
Location - Italy
Frequency - It doesn't happen every time, approximately every 20th time I would click a WP link from within the app. I tried to refresh-refresh-refresh again just now to replicate, but of course I can't get it to appear again now!
Duration - Started a month or two ago. The two screenshots I added above were taken only a couple of days ago (Friday and Saturday respectively).

I assume that it's from within the app only because when I click the "open in safari" option it will go to the same article but the fundraising banner isn't appearing. However, that's also possibly because I'm logged-in on Safari and when I log-out and refresh it doesn't appear. So, I can't "prove" that it's only within the app from logged-out viewers, but I assume others would have reported it if it were more prevalent than that.

We are running low-level mobile testing for logged-out users in Italy, which would probably fit with the "approximately every 20th time" pattern. The banners being used are: 1, 2

The banners not being docked to the bottom of the screen I can't explain though. These are working fine in Safari and Chrome. I won't have access to my iOS device to poke around with Alien Blue's browser until next week.

I have an iPhone we can play with while I'm in town next week, too. I'll
get Alien Blue right now.

Looking at landing pages of those links: do you mean to say that a you're STILL running same "€2 = a cup of coffee" story that everyone pointed out to you last year was culturally/irrelevant in most countries?
But more importantly, you do know that it's currently tax-time in Italy - and WM-IT is currently running banners itself, right?
See https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principale
So, you're actually running contradictory fundraising messages simultaneously, which will screw with your stats and possibly undermine the major annual fundraiser of the Italian chapter.
Why is it that WMF fundraising still don't made it a standard practice to actually inform the people who are physically IN the countries when you're doing fundraising, so that you'd know about this kind of thing beforehand?

Wikimedia Italia's banners are only on it.wikipedia.org though (and I'd point out that we weren't informed about them, it was just a local decision on the sitenotice discussion page). WMF aren't running there, only on en.wikipedia.org. Italian will probably come with our main Italy campaign, currently pencilled in for September, and of course we'll let the chapter know about that and collaborate on translations.

As for the formatting issue, this looks like a bug in Alien Blue's browser. All we're using is a standard 'position: fixed', and I was able to reproduce the same issue on this super simple version. No other browsers or users of the iOS standard WebView that I tested seem to have the same problem.
