Just a quick heads up, apparently Vice found this phab ticket worthy of an article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjpmyx/why-is-this-flower-on-wikipedia-suddenly-getting-90-million-hits-per-day

@Jdforrester-WMF, is using the templates ACN identified acceptable to you? If so, could you please implement?

FYI, this task was mentioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Sortable_tables_on_mobile.

The new logo looks really fuzzy/blurry, especially with the text. Is there any way to fix that?

The templates AntiCompositeNumber pointed to sound like a perfectly good solution, as they update automatically but are also in widespread enough use that if anything about U.S. copyright law ever changes they will be quickly updated. I agree that it is unacceptable to have to wait weeks and go through the hassle of making a phab ticket every year just to get the date updated.

I just accidentally created a duplicate; please merge with https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271968.

Oops, it looks like another phab task for this same issue was just created; please merge with https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271966.

@Aklapper, per the linked discussion, it would allow templates such as {{Empty section}} to automatically have the "add to it" link go to the editing window for the correct section rather than the entire page.

An application of this feature came up on en-WP here.

There's another potential application of this being discussed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#For_loops_for_a_category. I hope this eventually makes it out of the backlog.

FYI, this task recently came up at the Village Pump, showing continuing interest.

Following up here, it looks like the "cite this page" link hasn't been moved yet; @Yair_rand, do we have a phab task for that?

FYI: I recently asked about this issue at the en-WP Village Pump. Feel free to ask if there are any considerations that'd need community input to get this done.

Adding on from the perspective of an en-WP editor, I agree that GA/FA icons are very important indicators that ought to be visible to mobile readers; the prevailing sentiment of the discussion Proc linked above affirms that that's the community's view.

This was recently proposed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Log_out_second_chance. My reading of the consensus so far from here and there is that there is more support than opposition.

I'm glad to see this marked as high priority. I just waded around a bunch trying to figure out why I wasn't able to get the Maplink template working before finding this.

I'll second everything TheDJ just said — streamlining things like edit notices is a task I've been working on, but it's often quite difficult to build consensus. One alternative might be to create some parameter that'd allow designation of which edit notices are essential enough to be needed for mobile and which can be desktop-only.

FYI: This idea was recently brought up at the en-WP Village Pump, where it has received strong support so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Clearly_display_each_Default_setting_at_Special:Preferences

@Xaosflux, the issue has nothing to do with edit mode or readers being logged in. When you follow the example I linked above, it takes you to an old revision and also starts you scrolled half way down the page, which means you don't initially see the old revision notice.

Are there any additional tags that I should add to this ticket to help it show up in front of the right project for it to be actioned?

For context, I brought this up here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vn53tjmuvuwey29w

Adding another use case to this, it would be useful for creating a "go to random vital article" button, which I don't know of a way to code otherwise.

@matmarex thanks! The noinclude tags are being used because of the spread of excerpts — they allow, for instance, leads of articles on aspects of the pandemic that start with "during the COVID-19 pandemic" to just say "during the pandemic" when transcluded to the COVID-19 pandemic article.

@Certes just identified a possible reason for this bug; see this discussion.

This issue just occurred again, resulting in disruption to COVID-19 pandemic, a very high-traffic page. @Aklapper, I don't know much about tagging phabricator tasks. Since you're the only other one here, would you be able to help get this in front of whoever might be able to fix it? Until it's fixed, this is going to keep happening at COVID-19 pages, many of which are using noinclude tags to make excerpting possible.

I think the small screen problem is one that could be solved with good enough design. For instance, the banner could collapse as you start scrolling, so that it gives the full information about the date/editor/number/etc. of the old revision at the top, but just a simple "this is an old revision" notice for when you're half way down the page.

Any updates on this? It would be hugely useful for pages like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Sources, and it's come up again at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Table#Sticky_table_headers?.

Has there been any progress on this recently?

I just raised the priority of this a bit, per:

One big thing I'd like to see to make the page more readable on mobile: enable the Collapse Infobox Top template to work on mobile, so that readers don't have to scroll through all the less significant maps before getting to the content.

I wish this request was given higher priority. It would really be extremely useful.

Hi all! Thanks for creating this task. I've been editing a lot on mobile recently, and the ability to mark an edit as minor is one of the top things I've been missing.
