Text and Images Overflow Beyond Viewport on Mobile
Closed, DeclinedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

This is received from the community wishlist.

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
-Open an article on the Wikipedia Android app that contains tables, images, or wide text containers.
-Scroll to a section with such content (e.g., a table or an image within the text body).
-Observe how the content extends beyond the viewport, requiring horizontal scrolling to view it fully.

What happens?:
The text body, tables, or images are wider than the screen, leading to text being cut off or requiring horizontal scrolling to read the content. This negatively affects readability and user experience.

What should have happened instead?:
All text, tables, and images should scale appropriately to fit within the viewport, ensuring that content is fully visible without the need for horizontal scrolling. Hyphenation or scaling options should be applied to maintain a clean and readable format.

These issues occur when specific articles have content that is too wide for a mobile viewport. (This becomes an issue for mobile web presentation, not just apps.)
The way to resolve such issues is to edit the article to be more mobile-friendly.
