I guess the "Recent changes across Wikia" box wasn't in-your-face enough.

Perhaps there really are people who still don't know about portable infoboxes, or maybe Wikia is hoping pestering us will work.

Wikia used to be about the freedom of communities to do whatever they liked with their content. But most new Wikia features are about Wikia dictating what communities must do with their content.



I've checked, and my infoboxes are not "broken" on mobile devices, so this banner is an outright lie.

Of course, while they look "okay" now, they looked better when CSS could be shoehorned in. As I've said before, I had already put a lot of work into ensuring that my content looked good on mobile, but since Wikia decided to throw that out, I will not be putting in any effort beyond making sure things aren't "broken".

You know what is broken on mobile devices? Embedded audio, and Wikia are the only ones who can fix that. I've also just reported the fact that references are broken on mobile.

Here's the banner itself:  24 This community's infoboxes are broken on mobile devices. Your infoboxes are outdated. Let's rebuild them with new methods that are mobile-friendly. Learn more here. #|No Yes
 * edit: Apparently the CSS to render the message isn't loaded all the time, so this recreation may or may not be missing the logo, depending on whether the CSS is currently loaded for you.

And here's CSS to hide the message:
 * .ebs-container { display:none; }

edit: Took too long to type and was beaten to the CSS.
