Hi @RHo, I wanted to confirm the mobile behavior since the suggested edits feed is in an overlay on top of Special:Homepage. Should we take the user to the homepage like we do from the "View more suggested edits" link from the post-edit dialog or should we be linking to the feed itself?

For the latter, unfortunately, the user will see the homepage first briefly and then the overlay will appear on top of it. We do have a standalone suggested edits feed page (at Special:Homepage/suggested-edits), but the user would be led back to a slightly different experience that what they started with.

Hi @mewoph - it would be ideal to take the user directly to the feed itself without seeing the homepage briefly. So I would be in favour of using the standalone suggested edits feed since there is still the back arrow to take them to the homepage from there. However, just looking just now at the standalone page, there seem to be a number of display issues should be fixed so that it looks like the suggested edits feed - is this the different experience to which you refer?

• Wikipedia header should not be shown
• Suggested edits header is incorrectly styled
• Incorrect background colour
• Edit and navigation arrows footer is not sticky to bottom of the screen

If so, would it be relatively straightforward to fix these visual issues and re-direct to this standalone page? I have filed a task T297477 for it in any case.

Could we add a loading indicator to Special:Homepage when there is a fragment to load a module overlay directly? For example, if you click on https://cs.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD:Domovsk%C3%A1_str%C3%A1nka&source=personaltoolslink&namespace=0#/homepage/suggested-edits, there could be a loading state before the suggested edits module overlay is displayed.

@kostajh I think a loading indicator could help, although it would have to be done via JS only so the user will still see the server-side rendered page before the JS loads.

It could be done server-side via :focus, although that's a massive hack. We could also just use a query parameter.

In an ideal world, Special:Homepage and Special:Homepage/suggested-edits would load the same page, with the same JS navigation functionality, just with a different initial navigation state, and with a different JS module pre-rendered on the HTML side; and we'd user path-based routing instead of fragment-based one. That would be a lot of work though.
