Action & Code
editNew quests
editFollow-up
editPage actions should use semantic a
rather than li
as a button (JR) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142527
Ids are currently on <li>
as we can't target parent elements without CSS4
Inconsistency in output HTML
Data array as solution exists in core. Override in Subclass
JR: Something to work out in Minerva not in core
Define language CSS rules in a common module shared by all skins (MS) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169910
(Mobile skin (Minerva) seems to lack definition for .mw-content-ltr
)
JR: Minerva would be fine to load specific module or a LESS file.
MS: It's more than a variable.
These styles should be loaded regardless of skin
Minerva is already wiping out legacy modules.
Action item: MS to update task with TT's feedback. And follow-up between Minerva devs and MS on legacy module workaround.
Evaluate using `touch-action: manipulation;` (JR) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118509
On mobile OS there's a delay for touch actions as the mobile OS needs to differentiate between different touch like resize, double-tap and so on.
How to evaluate?
TT: Would there be metrics around a link in MobileFrontend?
JR: MobileFrontend has no metrics on links.
first :hover action to link until click
TT: Hard to evaluate automatically.
VE: Probably manual evaluation per QA as way out?!
show-hide: ref, infobox
Action item: Portals could work as a starting point as we have link metrics there.
