by Florian Schmidt 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Dependencies of MobileFrontend vagrant role
by Juliusz Gonera 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

I talked to Dan Duvall today and he said that many mobile browser tests fail on default vagrant instance because other extensions that are not hard dependencies of MF are not activated by default when activating the mobilefrontend role (extensions such as Echo, GeoData, VisualEditor). There are two things we can do: 1. Make other extensions that mobile uses dependencies of mobilefrontend role in vagrant 2. Create a separate role, e.g. mobilefrontend-browsertests, that will list mobilefrontend and all those extensions as its dependencies I was wondering if there is anyone who uses vagrant and would like to have MF enabled, but not all the other extensions. If not, 1. seems like a simpler solution. Thoughts? -- Juliusz

Accessibility issues on iOS
by Brion Vibber 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

We've gotten a couple of reports of accessibility issues with the iOS app, especially with buttons not being read aloud in VoiceOver mode. I've filed https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69120 so we don't forget to research exactly how to fix that up -- there should be accessibility role and label fields we can set on the labels and buttons to let VoiceOver pick them up correctly, so that part should be an easy fix once we get in there. We may also want to make slight adjustments to content HTML to reduce redundant link titles. -- brion

Wikipedia iOS 4.0.1 bugfix release pushing to App Store
by Brion Vibber 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Lots of bugfixes and some more UI translations; no major new features introduced (but we did add a 'Today' link in the W menu which brings you back to the main page for the current language). This should help address the issues with crashing on startup, though we need to do further investigation on what might be causing those. There are still known problems on some old iOS 6 devices which we're continuing to poke at. -- brion

On Desktop you don't have an edit button for the section, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikipedia_Signpost%2… The content of the section in mobile is included with a template if i see this right, isn't it? To change this content you must edit the template target.

Should this go on Bugzilla? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-07-30/Wik… Pine Hello! To the mobile web problem: do you mean, that it only lpads one section instead of the entire article? If yes: thats normal and expected. On mobile you can edit only a section, not the entire article.

Did something break for mobile editing? Thanks, Pine
