>what does a few weeks mean exactly

If things go well, sometime in the next two weeks. However, if we
can't get it done (I think there's a few things to review for
deployment) by the end of November we'll postpone until January as to
avoid the English fundraiser. A small reminder, not to be too
pedantic, but most templates described should be fine (famous last
words). :)

If you want to check out your favorite template on the mobile site,
add "?minerva-issues=b" to see the new treatment.

Thanks for the reminder for Tech News! Tabbing over to do that now.

Chris, what does a few weeks mean exactly? We will need some time to fix
the templates and having a precise timeline helps.

Also, please make sure the change announcement makes it in the tech news
newsletter.

Thank you,
 Strainu

[Wikitech-l] Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web

2018-11-13 Thread Chris Koerner
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some
templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates
more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in
updating any templates that don't look correct.

What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and
contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text
and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or
Template:More citations needed. [0] [1] Right now these notifications
are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format
templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message
box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page
title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
[2]

For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make
templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on
our work so far. [3] [4]

If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please
leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator
and we will help you. [5] [6]
