@Dbrant could this be related to the recent patches to fix the Cite CSS? Please, let us know if you need anything from us.

Dbrant moved this task from Needs Triage to Tracking on the Wikipedia-iOS-App-Backlog board.

@MSantos Thanks - the root cause is that the html output from the Cite extension has diverged too much from the CSS that's stored locally in the PCS repo.
It might be possible to fix this by adding even more CSS overrides in PCS, but realistically the proper fix will be handled by our larger work of T369435
