Hello,

I noticed that the "Invitation to edit" template which is being trialled on some medical articles is not working as designed on m.wikipedia.org.

The tutorial information for new users is meant to be collapsed by default, but on m.wikipedia.org the tutorial is expanded by default, which is quite undesirable since the article itself is not even expanded when viewed there!

Not only that, but you can't actually edit from the mobile server.

Here's an example of what I mean:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eczema

The template itself is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Invitation_to_edit

Someone removed it from there, so check it out here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain

Since this seems (to me) to be an issue that should be addressed quite quickly, is there anyone familiar with how m.wikipedia.org works who could advise how the template might be edited to make this not happen? Wapedia has the same issue with these articles incidentally.

I've CC'd Hampton Catlin, the main developer of the mobile server, and Derk-Jan Hartman, another person very involved in mobile stuff, to see if either of them can help here.

I'm not sure if there's a way to do this right now -- it might be related to bug 22659[1] and bug 14340[2] -- but if there is, one of these two would know how to do it. :-)

Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of the use of this template, but I'm not trying to argue against it here - this just needs some expert assistance to fix quickly. If there's a more appropriate place than here to ask, please clue me in about that too.
