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.
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?
