Hi,

I've noticed some pretty bad rendering of ArchWiki on my Nexus 7 -

see the

screenshots in [1].

The indentation is fine on Firefox for Android, but it has a different problem – the menu uses too large font, so almost every menu entry spans over several lines.

Even on wikipedia.org the text is indented from right side (when requested the desktop version). This is pretty annoying because most wikis don't have a mobile version. Plus on tablets the mobile version does not make sense anyway.

This sounds like an issue with webkit then, so it boils down to whether it's easier to fix webkit or provide a workaround for MediaWiki...

There is an Arch Wiki app at play.google.com that shows everything in suitable way.

Note: i am not the mantainer of this app.

Thanks for the tip, I did not know about this app. I'll add a link, just for the record: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtmcn.archwiki.viewer However, as an ArchWiki maintainer, I need the page rendered exactly the same as it would be on a desktop. According to the screenshots, this app uses some custom mobile layout optimized for small screens. Also note that mobile versions of websites generally are mostly useless on a tablet with a (relatively) large screen. Jakub Klinkovský (Lahwaacz)
