Special:Notifications has rendering issues on mobile
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The Special:Notifications page on mobile renders rather badly (e.g. https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Notifications ). This is highly visible and prominent in the mobile interface on slow connections.

Expected:
*It should maximise it's use of whitespace (no padding at 320px)
*More info/preferences should not be cramped into the top left corner

  • Text should line up with the hamburger icon and never appear left of it.

Note: I would suggest using a media query at the 768px threshold to add the padding for desktop users.

Edited since comment was confusing. We are removing the special page from MobileFrontend not the JavaScript overlay. I'm working with @Mooeypoo separately on consolidating code there with desktop.

So what did it do? From this task I have gleaned zero understanding of what the issue is, what was done, how well that worked out, what the current state of things is, and what is expected.

All information is in the description of this task. You and ignore the other task. Just take a look at the screenshot.

For background on the other task it had its own notifications code which was reinventing desktop code e.g. more link which had broken at some point. So we removed it. The code for the special page in Echo is where code changes need to be made.

An updated screenshot shows you've fixed it somewhat ( I don't know which patches removed the underlines but it looks better):
Main issue now seems to be the more info and preferences
