@Amire80 is this simply a case of adding:

[dir="rtl"] .content table.infobox {
    text-align: left;
}

?
Can you try adding that to User minerva.css and see if that works ?

It does work like this:

[dir="rtl"] .content .infobox {
	/* @noflip */
	text-align: left;
}

Looks pretty hacky and artificial, but resolves the problem.

[mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue@master] using an LTR wiki in an RTL language aligns infobox labels incorrectly

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/373286

Thanks for CR+2 the patch @Jdlrobson. Can this be marked as resolved? :)

This disturbs RTL wikis, having infobox left aligned is not that expected on Persian Wikipedia, and its info shouldn't be left aligned in any RTL wiki. See

This seems like a deeper issue. The CSS is parsed with the incorrect language settings.

@media (min-width: 720px) {
  table.infobox {
    margin: 0.5em 35px 1em 0 !important;
    max-width: 320px;
   width: auto !important;
   float: left !important;
   clear: left !important;
  }
}

Those statements are flipped and they should not have been flipped. It's content CSS and the content css is english, so that CSS shouldn't be flipped. If it is, then that means it is being processed as UI instead of Content.

The statements in the original MediaWiki:Common.css are:

/* Infobox template style */
.infobox {
	border: 1px solid #a2a9b1;
	border-spacing: 3px;
	background-color: #f8f9fa;
	color: black;
	/* @noflip */
	margin: 0.5em 0 0.5em 1em;
	padding: 0.2em;
	/* @noflip */
	float: right;
	/* @noflip */
	clear: right;
	font-size: 88%;
	line-height: 1.5em;
}

Thanks @eranroz for the fix!

@Jdlrobson I'm a little confused here. Can you provide a screenshot of the incorrect alignment compared with the correct alignment?

Incorrect alignment example in production (before applying the fix):
https://he.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%93%D7%99%D7%90%D7%9C_2018?uselang=he
(labels aligned right correctly, values aligned left, incorrectly)

Ok. Further clarification needed b/c the example provided above is different than the example in the description. Is this fix is intended to work on RTL language wikis and/or LTR language wikis when uselang is set to an RTL language?

Also adding this for clarification, although I'm not entirely sure it captures the issue accurately.

labels aligned right correctly, values aligned left, incorrectly	labels and values aligned right, correctly

Passing this over to @ABorbaWMF to QA. It would be great if someone could take a look at the testing instructions I added and make sure they describe the desired states correctly, @Amire80 @eranroz @Jdlrobson.

@alexhollender, sounds good and I'll take a look. Quick question, is there a reason we would switch staging to Hebrew twice as in steps 1 and 4 above. Is there a need to change it to another language in between those steps?

@Jdlrobson, Let me know what works for you in terms of timing for the staging switch to Hebrew.

@ABorbaWMF whoops, just updated step 4... change to *english

I've updated staging to Hebrew Wikipedia.

Seems to be working for me across a few devices. Tried a couple of URLs as well. I did notice some spacing issues with references in the infobox and the USA article has weird spacing between the globe image in the infobox and some text that seems to relate to a button that didn't load. But that seems like a separate issue.

URL	w/ ?uselang=en

@Jdlrobson, we can switch back to en on staging now if you like.
