When I tried to edit on desktop mode in the mobile browser, when the mobile keyboard opens up, it covers the whole editing surface known as input area (the Describe what you have changed does not even without a collapse button). Can you improve it and fix it? It affects most of the mobile browsers.
I used that in a infobox and on desktop it looks great, on mobile it is ugly (the gallery is not displayed as a single image where you can click "text2" to switch to that image, but two images next to each other without text.
The same problem occurs with sliders. Today I have seen this
Instead of having a single image displayed, on mobile, all four are displayed at the same time without a slide show. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Also, is there a way to hide specific segments of an article on only mobile/desktop? That could help me as well.
Lately, I worked on a wiki and realised that the mobile experience is completely different (horrendous) compared to the desktop version. Does anyone know a wiki that does a good job at implementing the "Mobile Main Page" and articles in general so I can look it up and get a rough idea on what's possible and how things should look like?
Does anyone know good tutorials on how to make everything look good? Are there any key-technologies or features that I should use? As of now, I get the feeling that my final "product" will look cluttered and confusing, even if I put in effort trying to make it look good (keep in mind that I am a beginner). To be honest, I lost mostivation right after I clicked the "Edit mobile main page", because already that thing looks cluttered and barely usable - unless I did something horribly wrong.
I could have swore there was a class that existed to do this, but it's been so long and I don't know how things have changed since then. I know I can move the content to a template and "falsely" mark it as a type that doesn't display on mobile, though I think it'd be better doing so inline if it's still possible.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had encountered an error where an article's headers appear doubled on mobile viewing of the page but not on desktop. I've attached a picture of the error below. I'm not sure what is causing the issue, as I've looked at the source code and didn't see any glaring errors. I've also compared the source code of this article to that of others that aren't having the mobile error, and found no noticeable clashes. Not sure what the best practices in this forum are for including source code, but here's a snippet of the code for what's shown in the screenshot:
==Description== ===Appearance === Luc is a tall, slender human with terra-cotta brown skin, wide hips, and broad shoulders. He wears a pair of large red vaquero boots, a black and gray western shirt, black pants, and a red bandana. Peeking out from beneath a wide-brimmed hat is a face with high cheekbones, almond shaped eyes, and a slightly crooked nose that looks like it was broken once or twice. His demeanor is reserved, and though he stands tall he has a penchant for leaning against things.
===Personality=== Luc has been quiet and polite in nature during most of his appearances on Sang Noire. The most notable breach of this conduct was when, upon accidentally harming a disguised Perry, he slapped the warlock as he came to.
===Abilities=== Luc is extremely adept with machetes and revolvers, the weapons he tends to favor in combat.
He's been shown to be able to supercharge one of his weapons with cold damage by spilling his own blood, usually with a machete blade or his unusually sharp teeth. ==Biography== ===Backstory=== Luc has been very quiet about his past. ===Campaign Arc One=== ====Chapter I: Party Crashers====
Is there something wrong with this? Why would this error only show up on this one page, and only on mobile? I'm really scratching my head over this one.

Is it possible to have a mobile-friendly version of w:c:dev:Global Lua Modules/Mbox, or at very least actuality display correctly? I tried changing the template type so it wasn't automatically hidden on mobile but the edit preview just showed it as regular text/picture without being encapsulated in a box. I haven't edited the original template/module from what you get on the starter wiki to remove the default styling, so would that be affecting it at all?
This week had some exciting developments for the Unified Community Platform, so let's dive right in...
Mobile Editor
The Mobile Editor is now LIVE on all UCP wikis! It features both Visual and Source modes. We already have logged the feedback that folks would like Syntax Highlighting on the Source mode.
Mobile Editing is a big feature of UCP that super-serves our non-English speaking userbase. Non-EN users are more likely to be mobile primary than their EN counterparts. For instance, 67% of Spanish speaking wiki users are mobile primary, making the emergence of mobile editing a significant boon to them.
Additionally, a survey of over 2,000 Gamepedia editors last year revealed that 34% of them got their start on mobile, so mobile editing is a fantastic opportunity for new editor growth on Fandom.
Every time I use the nav menu on mobile tapping on any link whose target is neither on "Main" nor on "Category:" namespaces, the target link gets the following querry string:
which ends up leading to the correct page, but with a popup over the page exactly like the one below:
X
Oops.
This item is no longer available, but now that you're here, explore the Community Central!
Ok
"Community Central" would be replaced by the name of the wiki, like when using the magic word {{SITENAME}}.
Tested
I've tested this on:
devices:
iphone 5S
iphone 6S
browsers:
Safari
Chrome
Brave
wikis:
Community Central example of menu link w/ error: News > Staff Blogs > Staff Blogs (namespace "Blog:")
Fandom Developers Wiki example of menu link w/ error: Content > Guides > JS & CSS cheatsheet (namespace "Help:")
some other wikis
The error is the same in all these cases.
Details
If you're using a mobile device, but you've tapped the button "View full site" on the footer, which leads you to the desktop skin (URL ending with ?useskin=oasis), then the nav menu error won't happen. The error only happens if you access the nav menu on a mobile device AND on a page using the mobile skin (which is default for mobiles).
Example of namespaces that get the error: Blog, Board, Project, Help and Special.
Links to Special pages under the top option "Explore" (present in all wikis) do not generate the error, i.e.: the links "Wiki Activity", "Random page", "Community", "Videos", "Images", and "Forum", are OK.
But if admins add ANY special page (Special:RecentChanges, Special:AllPages, Special:ListFiles, etc.) to their nav menu through MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation, mobile users will get the error whenever they access those links.
About the querry string added to the link, I do not know what all those fragments are for; but the first part (?file=null) is enough to generate the annoying popup.
This must be obvious, but I cannot figure it out: how do admins change the wiki description that pops up when you search for wikis on fandom.com; for example, this link https://www.fandom.com/?s=rec+room will show this description for the Rec Room wiki: "Rec Room Wiki is a community site that anyone can contribute to. Discover, share and add your knowledge!" How do you change this text? (And, no, it's not the wiki description of the mobile main page, which I changed years ago.)
Hello I’m a content Moderator on Supernatural Wiki and was wondering Is there any way, how a template can be displayed on a mobile device. When on desktop it’s just fine. Could you walk me through the steps?
Currently I'm facing with an issue that if placing infobox on the first line, the infobox title will be broken when viewing on mobile devices. Is there anyway to fix this?
The infobox was built with Special:InfoboxBuilder tool.
I’m about to watch a movie on the app. I am a new user and I need to know how to operate things so I can enjoy using Kitsu. Is there anything I need to do to actually play something?
I have a wiki that looks good but on Mobile it's kind of broken and without making it bad on PC. I don't know how to fix this. Is there a way to detect who is on Mobile and get them to a seperate page?? Or show something else?
Some of my text on my wiki shows very small font size when using desktop display on mobile. It appears to happen mostly in polls, and mainpage columns. It doesn’t always happen, and when it does it almost always on the main page or profile page. But I fixed profile page by redesigning the whole page with mobile responsive css. Before I can go about fixing this with css I need to know what to fix. My wiki is Malivore.fandom.com.
I'm an Admin on the wiki for the television series The Venture Bros. When I update an entry on that fandom wiki the changes immediately go live on Desktop, but can take 24 hours or more to be reflected on Mobile versions. Is there a way to make the edits go live on Mobile without the lag?
So, below me, we have two different viewpoints on the same table. One is from a Windows computer and the other from an iPhone 6. A concurrent issue over at the my-hero-academia-fanon is that users that have an iPhone view simple codings like this differently than everybody else.
Thus, I'm wondering if other people have also experienced similar problems and if there are any way to fix it?
Hi, it seems after doing edits for my wiki, the mobile page is still not updated. I have tried to edit the mobile main page too via the edit button but the changes I made also don't appear.
