Topic on Talk:Recommendations for mobile friendly articles on Wikimedia wikis

Wondering if it would be good to recommend that for mobile (and in general) hatnotes should be grouped by type, as in:

Don't do this

{{page issue}}

{{disambiguation}}

{{page issue}}

Do this

{{disambiguation}}

{{page issue}}

{{page issue}}

Perhaps it could also make sense to give a recommendation around which order you should put hatnotes in? E.g.

  1. Disambiguation
  2. Redirect
  3. Page issues
  4. etc.

Maybe we move the order? Page issues are blocks of texts and most hatnotes look like indented text on desktop, it should be reasonable to have page issues first and hatnotes second (unless there’s something about mobile version in that field that I don’t know).

Just for documentation purposes, the currently advised order for English Wikipedia article elements is documented in MOS:ORDER. Although I note that it specifies that hatnotes should be placed before page issue tags, which isn't strongly followed in my experience (likely because the indentation makes that look very unusual/cluttered).
