Background

The mobile skin Minerva causes certain contribution workflows to be unavailable. The skin hides certain pages as they are not optimized for mobile devices and increased the complexity of the interface. Their absence prevents contributors from being able to edit and moderate from the mobile web. The Readers Web team has listened to requests from communities and has an increased focus on contribution workflows for the upcoming year. The team is working on exposing currently unavailable pages and building expanded navigation to provide better editing functionality on the mobile web. Our plan is to build this as an opt-in feature which editors can enable. We believe this will decrease the necessity of switching between the desktop and mobile sites while on a mobile device and provide a better mobile editing experience.

Expanding the contribution workflows on the existing Minerva skin will provide a quick way to increase the amount of productive mobile contributions. It will also allow the full breadth of tools in a short time-span, giving us more time to do thorough research and design for the most crucial workflows.

We have captured this goal in output 3.1 from the 2018-2019 Annual Plan: Contribution tools on mobile web via an existing MediaWiki skin.

Question for you: If I got a consensus to add something like WP:Contents to the sidebar in mobile view, would you now be able to do that?

@Bugreporter2 Sure, and that comment is off-topic in this task. Please provide patches in a separate task.

MediaWiki:Sidebar's syntax is weird legacy syntax that isn't flexibly customisable because it isn't full wikitext. It needs replacing with something fit-for-purpose.

Jdlrobson added a comment to T383272: Watchlist/contributions change place on certain pages on mobile.

Sorry merged into wrong ticket.
Basically any time a special page is transcluded it breaks main context. This is why in this example the user is seeing the loss of logged in status (e.g. no notification icon and watch icon)

@Jdlrobson-WMF I apologize in advance if I'm missing something here, but I'm a little confused as to how this task could be a duplicate of T381658, as (to the best of my knowledge) enwiki isn't yet using Parsoid by default, and - at first glance - T381658 seems to be describing a different issue to this. Please tell me if I'm missing something, though.

I did a little bit of investigating to try and find out why - when a user has Advanced Mobile Contributions enabled - having FlaggedRevs active on a page causes the "(talk | contribs)" links to disappear (and an icon next to the editor's name to appear) when the screen width is <640px.

I experienced this issue on an enwiki SPI page, which (AFAIK) indirectly transcludes Special:PrefixIndex through another template. The issue seems intermittent -- I've been able to reproduce it, but then (AFAICS) refreshing the page seems to sometimes temporarily resolve the issue.

Tacsipacsi added a comment to T237246: Watchlist message about flagged revisions needs hide option on mobile.

I don’t think the message itself got much better (the links I mentioned in T237246#7796142 now overflow instead of breaking, which makes them take up much less space, and also makes them much less discoverable… a questionable gain).
