= WHAT?
When editors make changes in wikipedia articles, the preview that is shown doesn't necessarily reflect the styling of the rendered content in mobile apps.
**What does the future look like if this is achieved? **
- Editors have instant feedback on how the change looks like for mobile apps
- Editors are part of the loop when it comes to rendering issues with apps
- Editors can fix inconsistencies that are introduced by user styling between desktop/apps rendering
- Templates with custom styling can be maintained both for desktop and mobile apps
- We minimize the handling of these issues by introducing edge cases in the mobileapps codebase
**What happens if we do nothing?**
- We keep getting a lot of issues related to inconsistencies between desktop/mobile apps rendering, especially for dark theme
- We keep adding custom handling by introducing edge cases in the mobileapps codebase
- We maintain a lag when it comes to communicating with editors for fixes for the inconsistencies
= WHY?
**User Value/Organization Value AND Objective it supports and How**
# Platform Evolution: Editors are more empowered to make content/template changes with confidence that they will work cross-platform
# Platform Evolution: Communication between editors and developers will be more efficient since currently we don't have any feedback loop for mobile apps rendering and we rely on user submitted reports for inconsistencies
**Why are you bringing this decision to the Technical Forum?**
- We already evaluated a couple of potential solutions for our main problem here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T286643
- It seems like dealing with the problem requires coordination with other teams
- Changes in the edit flow are critical and having feedback and consensus from other stakeholders is important
