Mobile homepage formatting of "ku.wiktionary"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello, There is a problem for the display of the mobile Home Page on "ku.wiktionary" (mobile view) . Mobile homepage formatting isn't taken into account.

I tested the code of "ku.witionary" on "ku.wikipediya" to see if the error was to code. Results: on "ku.wikipedia" I have the right selection for display (mobile view):

<div id="mf-peyv">
{{Peyva hefteyê}}
</div>

(The code above is the part I want it to display on the mobile.)

Before I came here I also left a message on this page.

Thanks!

IF you look here you'll see kuwiki is listed in the list of sites that are using main page special casing:
https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/blob/master/dblists/mobilemainpagelegacy.dblist
kuwiktionary is not.

We are discouraging use of this feature of MobileFrontend as it creates a lot of maintenance effort and you'll need to change your approach and not use the mf- prefixed classes.

Have a read through https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_Gateway/Mobile_homepage_formatting and let me know if you have any questions.

@Jdlrobson: Ok! Is there an alternative to "mf-"? It isn't documented, because the page of Mediawiki gives as example of use de.wikipedia which uses the "mf-"

LOoks like that page is out of date - in the process of updating it :)
The best thing to do is put "nomobile" class on elements you do not want to show on mobile.
Does this cover what you want to do?

Thanks! I think that by rearranging the Main Page it will work :)
