Description

This was discovered here: T204807#4652971

Description

iOS has a setting that allows you to increase the font-size on your phone. The Wikipedia mobile site is responsive to that setting (i.e. the font gets bigger), however there are some non-text elements that don't scale accordingly.

Wikipedia logo	nav icons

These two elements were noticed because they are quite prominent, however it might be worth going through the website more extensively looking for other elements that don't scale.

Environments

iOS / Safari & Chrome browsers

@Jdrewniak do you have any idea why these icons are not scaling? I don't know enough about how this iOS font handler works.

Side note, when I visit the settings page on iOS, changing font sizes seems to have no impact. Is this just me

@Jdlrobson are you testing with iOS 9+? The dynamic type feature we enabled in T207789 will only take effect in iOS 9+ browsers...

@ovasileva also let me know if the priority here needs bumping. A spike would be the obvious next step for the font issue problems.

LGoto moved this task from Upcoming to Ready for Development on the Web-Team-Backlog-Archived (Kanbanana-FY-2021-22) board.

The solution should be technically quite simple and doesn't only affect iOS.
The logo is currently carrying width and height attributes, whose values are limited to pixel:
<img src="/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia-wordmark-en.svg" width="119" height="18"">

Try by setting your font-size to anything different than default ('Medium') in browser settings, here in Google Chrome:

Overriding those either with inline styles or a CSS selector to carry relative unit like rem should result in resized logos on all platforms according to user preferences.

I think the logo is the only thing that needs fixing here. See T207789 for how we could do that

Nav elements scale well. Both icons and text are using relative units.

@Jdlrobson I'm not sure what the acceptance criteria are, so here are my findings:

Smallest

Largest

Largest using Accessibility

Moving to QA in Prod. Per standup, I will be testing on Italian wiki and looking at just the logo.

QA Steps

✅ AC1: Verify the wikipedia logo is resized as text is resized by iOS.
The logo size does increase/decrease as expected. I verified this in itwiki as well. The rest of the images below are for reference. As the text gets really large there are elements on the screen that overlap, and search requires scrolling to the right to see the magnifying glass icon. A user may not know it is there. Search text size doesn't increase.

Default Size
Smallest Size
Large Size
Largest Size

@Jdlrobson, I'm assigning this to you just to highlight the behavior at the largest text size. The issues with search text size, the search clear x button misalignment, and overlapping text are outside of the scope of just the logo, but I thought you would like to note them in case you feel they warrant a fix. If everything looks good let me know and I'll move it over to Ready for Signoff.

The logo looks great in all of these.
Thanks for the detailed analysis of all the other font sizes. Things don't look great there, but someone viewing the site could always toggle "view desktop mode" to clean that up so at least some workround exists.

Have created T291503 to capture potential future work.
