@Aklapper Got it, sorry for the hassle.
Hi, i just wanted to share what I have tried so far and wanted to get your insight on whether I am proceeding in the right direction.
Sorry I was not sure whether I was supposed to work on this task, but I have uploaded a patch according to the request in the description incase it will be helpful.
I can take this task up. The proposed change looks clear and is supposed by the discussion linked in the description as well. I will prepare a patch in a while and update here.
@Aklapper Yes, you're right. I just looked into it again and I could replicate the issue. I will start by checking whether there is any inconsistency with the MinervaNeue skin which is leading to the Help button not being visible on mobile and will post a patch or update here once I have made progress. Any feedback is welcome!
Hi, I just tried to replicate the issue on my system but I do not see any problem with the visibility of the Help button on the mobile interface. Below are the screenshots.

Thanks for the pointers! I’ve updated the commit message to follow the Gerrit guidelines and added the Bug: T416293 footer so the patch is properly linked.

@Samwilson I submitted a patch updating the Watchlist help link to point to Help:Watchlist:

@Samwilson Thanks! I have cloned the MediaWiki repository locally.
I am still working on getting a local MediaWiki + Docker setup running, but I will start by inspecting mw.rcfilters.js and preparing a patch based on the code path. I will test it locally once my setup is ready, or flag if I am not able to test efficiently.

Hi! I'm a new contributor and I have looked into the documentation pages mentioned in the above task.
My understanding is that the help link on Special:Watchlist currently points to different help pages depending on whether enhanced filters are enabled, and the naming of one of those pages (“New_filters_for_edit_review”) is outdated.
I plan to look into updating the help link to point consistently to Help:Watchlist, and investigate the rename/update of the older help page.
Please let me know if this approach sounds good.
