Description

All red-links appear as blue to me on the mobile version of the English-language Wikipedia, also I get signed out randomly from Wikimedia websites, perhaps these things are unrelated but they happened at the same time. All red-links appear blue, I will add screenshots below.

Blue link in the "Mobile" mode.

Red link in the "Desktop view" mode.

For context, I have this issue on Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile (Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Lumia 950 XL) and Google's Android OS (Ecosia browser - Elephone P8 Mini), so this is not limited to either one device, one operating system, or one browser. Let's see if anyone else can reproduce this on their devices.

Notice the link "Presentation coin" (a special type of coin in Chinese culture countries akin to a European commemorative medal), which is a red-link in desktop, but a blue-link in desktop mode.

Update, this also applies to Wikimedia Commons.

Note that these deleted files appear "not-so-deleted" on Mobile, this can potentially cause problems if one thinks that a file can still be used on another Wikimedia website. Also, still seems to apply to multiple devices, browsers, and operating systems.

Redlinks correctly have class="new", but the CSS doesn't appear to actually style this red.

Actually for me, it is the same in both cases. Logged in or out. Caused by r605001

On Safari+iPadOS redlinks are red when I am logged out, but there was a misunderstanding in a report I got on Chrome+Android, where they apparently are blue in both cases. Sorry about that!

I was able to confirm that the links in production that are shown in the bug do appear red on desktop but blue on mobile. In beta the behavior is working as expected.
