Is anyone looking on how to solve this?

@Lbertolotti Not yet.

This doesn't appear to be an issue with the app, since these portal pages have the same text alignment issue when viewed in mobile web.

If you are referring to the archive and read more links, this is actually an issue with the templates which rely heavily on table layouting. A change in MobileFrontend would break a far greater amount of tables so this is better fixed on the template level by clicking edit.

if someone wants to suggest a template edit I can apply the changes as I have template editing rights.

Unfortunately it's not clear who owns this problem due to T101362 but it's not an issue in Android or MobileFrontend

The portal pages are now displaying better on my cellphone. Maybe this issue can be solved now...

I fixed manually most of the visualization problems, but in some cases the problem is related to the template being used, the selected article template for example.

Why is this thing on Phabricator?

Because not all styles work correctly with the wikipedia app/mobile view.

I'm adding another example of this problem, the Selected picture template:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Selected_picture
Try viewing this template on the wikipedia app and you will see that it has alignment problems. On a portal page it looks like:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Engineering/Featured_picture

One thing I noticed regarding this issue is that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Selected_picture
viewed from mobile is different from the view in cellphone.
Cellphone view:

I can confirm that the orange juice image the same on IOS as this task explains

What actually do you mean by mobile? Do you mean the mobile view in the browser ? I don't get the difference between mobile and cellphone.

When I said mobile I meant the mobile view feature of the browser. I think this problem would benefit from a more structured approach. There are many ways of writing code in wikipedia, for example, this template is very different from anything I have seen before:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Mathematics/Feature_article

Another bug from Android, Category pages are not visualizing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Engineering_disciplines

This seems like a limitation of Parsoid: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Category%3AEngineering_disciplines

I guess it's similar to T148118

I think this last one merits a separate bug report rather than getting lost in all the other unrelated issues that seem to have been solved. Created T151223 and will remove Parsoid tag from this task.

In short, this is a bug report about feature parity between the desktop site and the mobile counterparts. Thanks, this is useful.

As explained on Mobile, the term "mobile" is usually used to mean the actual usage from mobile devices, which nowadays mostly goes through the mobile site (m.wikipedia.org etc.) and the apps.

To mean the "actual" MediaWiki website, as seen e.g. on en.wikipedia.org, you can specify "desktop site".
