Sfrac template renders slash and horizontal line in mobile view
In the article section en:Hoare logic, I used the "sfrac" template to create a natural deduction-style rule (consisting of a horizontal line, some formulas above it, and some below it). The rendering looks fine in the desktop view. However, in the mobile view, an additional "/" is shown immediately above the horizontal line. I guess the "/" is shown due to a programming error in the template code, but I don't have a clue how the template code works. After placing a ((help me)) request on my talk page, User:Gryllida suggested to repeat my question here. (Clicking on your above "Bugzilla" link resulted in an error message "The requested URL /enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki_extensions&component=MobileFrontend was not found on this server.") Many thanks in advance. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 20:00, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

This is how sfrac looks like in desktop view (it is ok):  {B ∧ P} S {Q}  ,     {¬B ∧ P } T {Q} --  {P} if B then S else T endif {Q} 

This is how sfrac looks like in mobile view (the "/" should not be there):  {B ∧ P} S {Q}  ,     {¬B ∧ P } T {Q} / --  {P} if B then S else T endif {Q} 

Thanks for the feedback! What seems to be happening is a rule in MediaWiki:Common.css is present on mobile. I'm not sure what the purpose of the .visualhide class is but the character is actually in the content - just not rendered. Adding a nomobile class to the template that prints that would rectify this problem. Jdlrobson (talk) 23:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Could you (or another expert) please add that class? I'm unable to do that, as I don't understand the markup language sufficiently well. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Categories
Could categories not be displayed on the mobile version of a page? They are, generally, useful to browse. -- Menti fisto 04:13, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I second that. Bennylin (talk) 16:24, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

A feature for this is current available in the alpha mode of the site

Hackable js
Can I personalize my experience through custom js? Especially useful to add some useful external link for the articles I'm reading. Bennylin (talk) 16:24, 13 September 2013 (UTC) Not at the moment but feel free to submit a patch or raise an enhancement request. Jdlrobson (talk) 23:23, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk pages
Talk pages! I want to read long talk pages on mobile, because reading on mobile usually means I have some time to kill! :) -- Phoebe (talk) 20:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

please. Talk PAGES. Gryllida 12:38, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Search box cleared when selected from results page
From the mobile search results page, clicking the (overlay) search box at the top of the screen brings up an empty/cleared field. This differs from other mobile sites (e.g. Google/Yahoo) where selecting the search box lets you edit the search terms that brought you there. Does this sound reasonable to write up as a feature request in Bugzilla? Hobart (talk) 20:59, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
