Do not apply mobile transforms to Wikipedia app on Tablets
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Mobile transformation makes the content suck on tablets. We already serve the desktop version to people on tablets - the app should do the same.

MaxSem has already added the 'notransform' param to the API to make this possible.

I support this -- larger-screen tablets should feel nicer with the desktop layout.

(Or alternately, multicolumn layout like we're using on Windows 8, but that only really "fits" with the Microsoft Metro style.)

Hmm, for this we need to inject MediaWiki:common.css and assorted other per-wiki css scripts into the app - and load mobile specific styles only on demand.

Were focusing on handsets right now so i'm resolving this as wont fix.
