Description

If someone in the Congo-Zaïre get access to wikipedia over a mobile phone, this will be in one of the following languages: fr, kg, ln, sw. I tried this with the links xx.m.wikipedia.org. While fr and sw looks nice in the mobile phone modus, kg and ln the main page looks horrible - it is more or less the www modus.

Can someone help the ln community (of three!) to arrange this and also do it on kg (there is only one contributor and no community -- both have a similar start page). Thank you. The articels shows OK. Probably it is a problem with the old wiki code layout from 2006 and mobile phone modus.

ln.m.wikipedia.org and ln.wikipedia.org (resp. kg.m.wikipedia.org and kg.wikipedia.org) are a difference here.
What does "more or less" exactly mean? Screenshots highly welcome, though as it's probably up to each language community to define its mobile design itself I don't see a valid software bug report here, but "just" a request for help to edit some HTML/CSS/JS?

ln on www with colonns

compair with sw on www

ln on mobile

it looks as on www, but with two big empty/white fields. I made the red frames to made them more visible. This is not as it should be on mobile.

ln on mobile

two big white fields (I made the red frames to show them better).

Until now, the ln language community did not define its mobile design itself, as there is not really a community, only three people who contribute from time to time. I do not understand, why nearly all languages shows well (as example the screen shot from sw) in mobile, only ln mobile appears as on www with additional white fields (on the screen shot I made red frames around this fields).

So for ln.m.wp.org you should remove the offending "vertical-align: baseline" in CSS.
I don't see what is the problem with kg.m.wp.org.

So this really looks like something to bring up to the specific communities ("on wiki") because they can edit their frontpages: The frontpages have a talk/discussion page link at the top where you could bring this up.
Nothing to fix here in the MediaWiki software or the server configuration, hence closing as INVALID for Bugzilla (simply because we can't do much from here - this is community territory).
