Jdlrobson-WMF added a comment to T385509: Remove beta code from MobileFrontend.
@egardner done. I split this out into two tickets the other being T402470: Remove AMC Outreach code from Mobile. I suspect this one is the smaller of the two and worth doing first as an introduction to MobileFrontend. I'm happy to pair with whoever wants to work on this.
Jdlrobson-WMF updated the task description for T385509: Remove beta code from MobileFrontend.
Jdlrobson-WMF renamed T385509: Remove beta code from MobileFrontend from Remove AMC Outreach and beta code to Remove beta code from MobileFrontend.

Jdlrobson-WMF added a comment to T401216: "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded." on Minerva for iOS.
When file_url and stack_trace are undefined this is usually an indication of bot activity. We filter those fields by default from the dashboard and alerts.
Jdlrobson-WMF closed T380430: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace') at Object.percentDecodeFragment as Resolved.
Error rate is now much lower and no longer impacting Korean. I fixed a few gadgets so believe this was a gadget error.

Jdlrobson-WMF edited projects for T370943: On diff pages, the logo overlaps the diff summary in dark mode, added: Moderator-Tools-Team; removed Web-Team.
Is this something that fits in with your current work @Samwalton9-WMF ?

Jdlrobson-WMF removed a project from T342581: MobileFrontend image viewer doesn't set focus properly: Web-Team.
Feeing this up for someone else to work on. On long term we probably want to address the unification of the mobile and desktop media viewers before taking this on.
Jdlrobson-WMF removed projects from T381036: Use Codex Toast for mw.notification: Web-Team, Design-System-Team.
Jdlrobson-WMF edited projects for T394492: MobileFrontend should not use raw HTML messages, added: Reader Growth Team; removed Web-Team.

Jdlrobson-WMF edited projects for T388032: Certain mobile devices are (possibly) not being redirected to our mobile site, added: Readers Essential Work 2025; removed Web-Team.
I'll keep an eye on this during the mobile domain switchover.

FYI @ovasileva since this would be a readers growth thing based on current maintenance responsibilities.
Jdlrobson-WMF added a project to T400401: TypeError in MobileFrontend RemovableClassesTransform: Reader Growth Team.
Is this a production error at time of writing?
Jdlrobson-WMF removed a project from T401437: class mw-parser-output missing lang attribute on Extension:Popups: Page-Previews.
Reference previews are displayed via the cite extension.
Jdlrobson-WMF removed a project from T394016: Check edit constraints on page preview: Page-Previews.
Page previews = https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups so I think this one was mistagged.
Jdlrobson-WMF edited projects for T401137: MobileFrontend CSS enforces constant font size, ignoring parent element, added: MobileFrontend (Tracking); removed MobileFrontend.
Jdlrobson-WMF moved T401961: Verify 1.45.0-wmf.14 deployment from In progress to Needs QA on the Reader Experience Team (REx Sprint 3 [Q1 Aug 12-25 '25]) board.
Jdlrobson-WMF reassigned T402050: Shareable Reading list items should not be visible on the Special:ReadingLists page from Jdlrobson-WMF to Edtadros.
Edward could you QA? This has been deployed to production now.
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T380560: Finalize initial unification of `z-index` Codex design tokens usage as Low priority.
What's the status of this @Volker_E ? I assume low priority since it is not tagged Reader Experience Team ?
Jdlrobson-WMF edited projects for T398358: Alt attribute is not rendered in mobile for screen reader to read, added: Accessibility, MinervaNeue, Reader Experience Team; removed MobileFrontend.
Minerva is the mobile skin. MobileFrontend is the infrastructure.
Jdlrobson-WMF edited projects for T401276: Create a function that identifies model articles, added: MediaWiki-General; removed RelatedArticles.
Is this problem unique, or has it already been solved in a similar application elsewhere? I know there's the RelatedArticles extension that is used on mobile.
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T402066: Tables are forced to have display:block regardless of their size as Low priority.
@lihaohong the code serves both mobile and desktop and I don't believe fit-content has any effect there.
Jdlrobson-WMF added projects to T401137: MobileFrontend CSS enforces constant font size, ignoring parent element: Reader Experience Team, MinervaNeue.
Even though code is in MobileFrontend it should be in Minerva so tagging Experience team as maintainers.
Jdlrobson-WMF closed T364015: Exception handling for appearance settings (width) - Vector as Declined.
Jdlrobson-WMF closed T390671: Vector 2022: use smaller breakpoint for collapsing the search bar as Declined.
Per above.
This is using a template to generate unsupported HTML markup. Thumbnails expect an image tag, not any other HTML content.
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T400581: MinervaNeue does not support halign of inline images as Low priority.
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T401064: Customise behaviour of InputBox if the target page already exists as Low priority.
Jdlrobson-WMF closed T402066: Tables are forced to have display:block regardless of their size as Invalid.
Yes this is by design and intentional compromise. If it doesn't do this then the skin ceases to be responsive and will not adapt to mobile.
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T402078: InputBox on mobile skin (Minerva) loses focus on first click, jumping to main search bar as Low priority.
Can replicate.
Jdlrobson-WMF added a project to T398403: Right page tabs out of alignment for Kashmiri and Eastern Pwo on MacOS Firefox and Chrome: Reader Experience Team.
The issue seems to be the default rule line-height: normal and can be fixed with $('#ca-edit a span').css('line-height',1). Not sure if this is a browser bug / Codex bug / Vector bug.
Jdlrobson-WMF added a comment to T385682: Replace Node.js Assert library with WebdriverIO Expect library in RelatedArticles.
@zeljkofilipin should this be declined if Test-Platform is not working on it?
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T385682: Replace Node.js Assert library with WebdriverIO Expect library in RelatedArticles as Low priority.
Jdlrobson-WMF claimed T342040: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'src[src.length-1].res') .
Last error was 22nd May 2025 so this looks fixed to me!
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T396938: Upgrade extensions/RelatedArticles to webdriver.io 9 as Low priority.
Jdlrobson-WMF triaged T402251: Mobile menu bar logo wordmark alignment is poor on enwiki as Low priority.
