Make Mainpage of Marathi Wikipedia look better in mobile
Closed, InvalidPublicFeature

Description

Most of the readers and editors of Marathi Wikipedia edit via mobile devices. It is thereby very much needed that the Mainpage of Marathi Wikipedia be properly displayed in mobile devices.

Current issues

  • Header template is very long and needs to be scrolled while viewing.
  • Tabs in the Mainpage are very much clubbed to each other.
  • No proper alignment of templates and featured image.
  • Text are very long and difficult to read.

What is expected

  • Modification of templates and Table information so that the page is displayed properly on Mobile and desktop version
  • Colour and styles of templates must look modern.
  • Attractive view so that users are encouraged to interact more on the Mainpage

Intern must create a sandbox (User:xxx/sandbox) to experiment this task. Once ready must ping local administrator/mentor to review their task.

@Tiven2240: I do not believe that this would take 175 hours... do you? (And only one single Wikimedia site would benefit from this, out of hundreds that we have...)
Have you checked https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit/Main_page_customization how to remove tables that have no tabular data, how to wrap tabs on smaller screen widths, and move CSS to TemplateStyles?

@Tiven2240: For the fun of it, I quickly reworked at least {{विकिपीडिया:मुखपृष्ठमथळा}} and {{विकिपीडिया:मुखपृष्ठमथळा दालन सूची}} (the two elements used on top of the https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/मुखपृष्ठ ) to wrap on mobile screens, by copying (and then adjusting) these templates into my sandbox on https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/सदस्य:AKlapper_(WMF)/Sandbox (but note that the CSS should really be moved into separate CSS pages loaded via TemplateStyles instead of having all that repeated CSS inline, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit/Mainpage_customization ).
Feel free to take over/adjust these changes (as I do not have permissions to edit the main page and the templates used on the main page).
Anyone is very welcome to continue by removing/replacing the rest of the tables on the main page.

@Tiven2240: Could you please answer the last comments? Thanks in advance!

@srishakatux: No replies in this task; should this be declined?

I think we can do this locally after some test edits by users above. Thanks for guidance.
