Skin:Minerva Neue/pt-br

Minerva is the skin that serves mobile traffic for Wikimedia projects across the world. Compared to other skins e.g. Vector it provides a much more simplistic user interface and is much more aggressive about optimising for performance so that it can cater for mobile users.

It is optimised for use with MobileFrontend as the wgMFDefaultSkinClass and at the time of writing this is a hard dependency.

Installation

 * Download and install the MobileFrontend extension.


 * Note: Setting  will make Minerva your default skin even in Desktop view. Ignore this line and instead use   if you want only MobileFrontend to use the Minerva skin.

Make sure the call to wfLoadSkin is installed after the call to wfLoadExtension.

Configuration of menu's
Certain URLs in the main menu can be tweaked. These include: Certain menu items will be enabled automatically when the relevant extension is added.
 * Random (via editing MediaWiki:Random-url)
 * Portal URL (of Advanced editing mode via MediaWiki:Portal-url)
 * Nearby (provided by Extension:MobileFrontend).

Desktop vs mobile modes
MobileFrontend provides additional capabilities that are not available in MediaWiki core. You can compare desktop vs mobile mode.

When operating in mobile mode the following features are available: The desktop mode of the site is experimental. If you see a bug, patches are appreciated.
 * Sections can be collapsed and expanded
 * The menu contains different options e.g Special:Preferences is available on desktop
 * MediaWiki:Mobile.css (for mobile mode) or MediaWiki:Common.css (for desktop mode) will be loaded.
 * Various pages are optimised for mobile e.g. Special:Watchlist (compare desktop vs mobile)

When operating in desktop mode there are various issues that we are working towards fixing. Your patches and help are welcomed.
