Reduce line-height
Fonts on mobile are (generally) much controlled, and overall better than on the desktop. Superfluous control over line spacing is unneeded and undesirable.

Wikipedia Mobile has a high line spacing, and on a small screen almost always requires a significant amount of scrolling. Reducing line spacing (in particular, leaving line spacing at the default) would make reading easier (font's built-in line spacing is already adequate) and require the user to scroll less.

 * Thanks for the idea. We'll have to play with this after the launch to see how it looks. Tfinc 22:58, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Dismiss button for donate banner
The donate banner appears on every page and takes up a large amount of space, it would be useful to be able to dismiss it. RobertL 07:23, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Awesome. I was coming here to suggest this. Killiondude 18:09, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Suggestions
I have the following suggestions.
 * accesskeys for navigation on older devices.
 * Do you mean navigation using the actual buttons on the phone ? Tfinc 22:57, 20 June 2011 (UTC)


 * contents list for browsers without touch jquery show/hide
 * Can you send a mock up our way. I'd love to see how your visualizing this. Tfinc 23:08, 20 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Since we are already using WURFL, we should have the width of the device's screen. We should make thumbs of 'default' size just below the width of the screen. For screensizes over 300px wide, we should probably have 'half screen width' thumbnails that are inline floated.
 * This will take some experimenting to figure out.


 * Collapsed infoboxes and tables, that show upon clicking them. (This is one of the features of the Articles app that i like a lot). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheDJ (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~ !

L10n of Feedback / easy comment
To collect effective and enough feedback from non-English speakers = non-English mobile devices, we should solve those problems.--aokomoriuta
 * This page is (mainly) in English, so that it's hard for any other language user - especially Japanese user - to make their feedbacks here.
 * And also this page is MediaWiki page, so that it's a little hard for non-mediawiki users, who is just a reader of Wikipedia or has only a mobile device (there're many in Japan, especially teenager)
 * Thanks for the feedback. We'll be adding a Japanese & Hebrew section next to make this even easer.
 * Good point, ao-san! We've created a set of Japanese pages that you can access by clicking at the top of the page or by clicking here. We could use your help translating them if no one's translated them by the time you read this. :-)  Cbrown1023  talk  00:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Tfinc, Casey. I've translated Japanese version and hope that Hebrew is done ASAP. And also We still need the easier way to make a feedback by mobile devices (it's a little hard even by my Android phone).--aokomoriuta 03:35, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Editing from phone
It's a shame that there isn't a way to edit directly from the phone in the mobile interface without having to switch to the default interface (where it's possible to edit on an iPhone, as this message is showing), but it's a little tricky due to the layout, clutter and size of the boxes...

 * Totally, take a look at my comments above and join in on the discussion about contributions on mobile. Tfinc 17:26, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

metadata
Hi there!

Could you change the array $itemsToRemoves entry 'table.metadata' to 'metadata'? In de.wp we're using metadata also for single columns in tables, ie here. Metadata I think should not be represented in general in mobile view.... Greets --AleXXw 07:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
