ovasileva moved this task from Incoming to Needs Prioritization on the Web-Team-Backlog board.

Marking as low as it's still not clear after so many years whether we want to roll out the lazy loaded references feature.

Jdlrobson added a parent task: T123328: [GOAL] Lazy load references in mobile skin.Jan 17 2019, 9:36 PM

Lazy loaded reference feature will be removed (see T222373)
