Regression: Login form below fold under login prompt on Wiktionary login page
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Login form below fold on Wiktionary and possibly other projects. That suggests this may decrease login rates (it did when the submit button dropped below the fold for Special:Mobileoptions)

Visit https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin?mobileaction=beta&useformat=mobile which forces the use of the core login form to see this.

On the short term we should hide this big chunk of text on mobile screens (either in UserMerge extension or MobileFrontend).
On long term UserMerge will need to be a bit more clever with its placement.

@KHammerstein what's your take on this? Should we hide the text or move it below the login form or something else?

Just hide it for time being as this is a regression and it wasn't there before.

What does this have to do with the UserMerge extension...?

Thanks for the clarification @Legoktm the link to Special:MergeAccount threw me.

Will sign this off next sprint when I see it in production.

Confirmed as fixed.
