Currently references are not expanded and therefore useless on mobile. They are very important to show.
How should they be shown? Expandable? Always expanded? Something else?

Event Timeline
If the references are rendered in a simple way to references vie the Cite extension then this should just work (mobile displays these in drawers that appear at the bottom of the page)
Currently mobile does this in a hacky way, which could be extended to cover wikidata (we look for an elements with ids in an ol element with class references)
Ideally we could use data-id's here to relate the text '1 reference' that points to associated references to turn this into a link that displays them and standardise some of the code here with core. Displaying references next to the statement inside the article itself would really clutter the article and render it unreadable.
For now the references will always be expanded per default. We might find another solution with the new ui.
