Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What should have happened instead?:

The image has a border as in the desktop view.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

MinervaNeue is still referencing the old class (thumbborder) used in the legacy media DOM: resources/skins.minerva.styles/content/thumbnails.less#55
Core styles for the border: resources/src/mediawiki.skinning/content.media-screen.less#9

Event Timeline

The mobile skin (variously MobileFrontend and then later the Minerva skin) has not displayed bordered thumbs on mobile since at least 2014 (see also e.g. T77894#1567255).

The CSS is probably bad, but I suspect it's "needs removal" bad and not "the CSS needs to target the correct selectors" bad.

(Very loosely related see also T283396.)

This is intentional and by design

BTW. thumb border and frame border are not the same thing.
