Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some
templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates
more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in
updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and
contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text
and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or
Template:More citations needed. [0] [1] Right now these notifications
are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format
templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message
box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page
title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
[2]
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make
templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on
our work so far. [3] [4]
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please
leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator
and we will help you. [5] [6]
