Preview in VE?

I think so -- this is primarily is response to some discussions with
community folks who say that they actually will pull pages up in a mobile
to see how they render. It would be nice to have this be part of the tool.

I've re-titled this to make it clearer, based on conversations but I could have misunderstood – please edit if so.

See also the gadget @brion made last year: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mobile-l/2014-October/008128.html (not sure if it was implemented for edit previews too)

@Tbayer this ^ is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Hmm, that gadget is nice. /me should round that up and get that deployed on en.wp

Note that this is partially overlaps with T85587: Emulate mobile view on desktop preview page

@dr0ptp4kt What does the team need to analyze here? Or is this a Tracking task?

I believe the team would need to analyze proper interoperability of the MobileFrontend componentry with this solution. This said, for practical purposes Tracking is probably a fine place for this at the time being. In a future state when this mobile preview would be on the horizon, people could be pinged on this task to figure out timing, work involved, etc.

Moving to Tracking on Web-Team-Backlog for the time being.
