Hello,
I'm also interested in some kind of easy "preview how this page will look on mobile" in the editor, which would probably be a separate thing...
I took the liberty to take this idea and created a sample change for MobileFrontend: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/166089/
With this patch you would be able to click "Mobile preview" right next to the "Show preview" button. In a new tab you will see the parsed content of your edit in the mobile skin.
I like the whole idea of a mobile preview for desktop editors, so maybe, we can reach this in any way :)
Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards Florian

On mobile we continuously get bugs related to inline styles in templates. For example: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68001
When these happen we usually spend time investigating, discover it is because of a troublesome inline style in the template and then we communicate this on the template talk page [1]
However, rarely do these get replies and rarely does anything get fixed.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I be posting these problems elsewhere? It seems like a lot of templates do not have active maintainers.
The wiki way is not to ask and wait for someone else to act, but to act directly in good faith and communicate what you did and why so that if there is disagreement it can be resolved afterwards.
Ultimately if we're unwilling to help edit and maintain the content and style of the wikis, we're going to be stuck working around bad styles forever.
There has been an RFC [2] open for ages that when solved I hope will lead to lots of discussions between developers and template maintainers but right now it seems even without the tools we are failing.
How can we get better at making our template styles more mobile friendly?

I'd like to revitalize this one; I'll do some testing this weekend and put it on the agenda for next week's RfC.
