Hi Jacob
I've cc'ed wikitech to get an update on bug
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T483
The last update here was in February 2015. I personally think this is
one of our most urgent bugs to fix, but it's not clear who is
responsible for this, and who has the expertise to help resolve it.
The fundamental issue this privacy policy hits, is many our editors
are also hitting - that there is no way to style wikitext content
differently on a mobile screen. This has been a recurring problem for
some time now.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T483
The only way to make any progress here currently is the following:
* Add the nomobile class to an element to hide it
* Add a reset rule to MediaWiki:Common.css to reset problematic styles
e.g.
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mobile.css
I'm near positive these very same issues were discussed over a year go
for the privacy policy on English Wikipedia and I think the conclusion
was there was little that could be done in current form (if anyone can
remember where that conversation happened).
Note: For
wikimediafoundation.org it might be acceptable to move all
inline style rules into
https://m.wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mobile.css
and use media queries to style content differently. Any capable web
developer should be able to help you with that (I'm not sure who is
building the privacy policy for you).
