Awesome! Long overdue!
However one slight thing pains my heart.. I'd love us to get this link on mobile too... but it currently looks _terrible_ on mobile. Has anyone got any interest on optimizing this page my removing it's dependency on a table based layout (btw we **really** need to get out of this habit :-))?
I'm also not too familiar with the <languages> tag but I wrote a script that turns it into a language button to be consistent with other pages on the mobile site - would be great if this could be added to the Translate extension / Mobile.js or some other place [1]
Suggested steps: * Replace table layout with div's and try and form some generic css classes in MediaWiki:Common.css or other location until this RFC arrives [1] * Deploy some variant of my patch [2] to cleanup the language section for JavaScript users.

Yes, "How to contribute" must look good on mobile. Is there a page with a good div & mobile practice that we can take as a reference?

fwiw I'm proposing a change to the Translate extension UI so it just emulates in multilingual sites the well tested practice of interwiki links in Wikipedia et al.

You just reached to the same conclusion for mobile. Good! ;)

Don't know about a good reference, but here's a few notes after a quick look at the page:
* The translations list is *really long* and will take up your whole screen before you get to any content. Consider making this collapsible (does that work on mobile currently?) so people can tap in to reveal the language list, or moving it to the bottom. * The table layout with the big icons & text blurbs collapses to small screen very poorly. Consider using floated divs which can naturally turn from a horizontal row of 'cells' to a vertical stack * The "get involved" box is a bit bigger than it probably needs to be on a small screen

Yes! Any help making this page look less terrible on mobile would be fantastic. :-) Cross-reference: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:How_to_contribute#Mobile_view_32514.

Max thanks so much for turning the tables into divs. I've cleaned up the rest, please let me know if I've screwed up the desktop design I tried my hardest to ensure it looked exactly the same. I did a few tweaks - mostly creating a generic class in Mobile.css [1] we can use for these sort of layouts and it now looks mobile optimised.
If we can fix that language bug [2] I see no reason why we can't add this to the mobile site! :) [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mobile.css&oldid=7... [2] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51533#c3

It looks great now on both desktop and mobile -- thanks all of you guys! The system works. :D

This is a good addition. However, on the smaller screen resolution I'm looking at now, the entire footer section looks awful (strange line breaks, words running together). This is a formatting rather than content issue, so tweaking can be done without affecting content.
