Sub-reference numbers are displayed incorrectly in the reference list in (some?) mobile browsers
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue:

  • Open an article with sub-references on a mobile device (probably just iOS?)

What happens?:

  • Observe that sub-ref footnote numbers are displayed correctly in the article (e.g. [3.1.]), but not in the reference list:

What should have happened instead?:

  • Display the sub-ref numbers correctly just like in desktop view

Other information:

  • I can reproduce the issue on an iOS device using Chrome / Safari / Firefox and also on a MacOS device using Chrome / Safari / Firefox (choosing mobile instead of desktop view).
  • Cannot reproduce it on my Linux laptop using Chrome / Firefox and mobile view
Next steps
  • Try to validate and reproduce the issue ( might be caching )
  • Look into possible solutions ( might be a CSS issue )

I took the screenshot from https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohlleiter but the issue occurs with any random sub-ref article, e.g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachener_Rathaus or https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation. The issue was first observed by one of the participants in recent VE mobile user testing.
