Hi Edokter, since User:Brion_VIBBER doesn't respond and there is no other wikipage regarding Gadget-mobile-sidebar (afaik), can you add the link above, please?
"Show page in mobile view while browsing the desktop site" is not exactly an exhaustive description of what this gadget does and leaves it wholly to the users imagination. --Atlasowa (talk) 19:49, 1 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
  Not done: @Atlasowa: I agree with Edokter here - we shouldn't have a link to a temporary discussion in the editing interface. Perhaps create some documentation at m:User:Brion VIBBER/mobile-sidebar, with Brion's permission, and then we could link to that? — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 05:14, 14 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Not done: OK, i give up. One more mystery gadget. --Atlasowa (talk) 08:31, 14 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

What to change:

Currently works only with Vector skin.

Reason for change:

May be months (or years) before fixed to work with other skins. See MediaWiki talk:Gadget-mobile-sidebar#Gadget-mobile-sidebar only works with Vector skin, javascript error.

  Not done It is not clear EXACTLY what edit you want made to this message:

The CURRENT message is:

Mobile sidebar preview: show page in mobile view while browsing the desktop site

What exactly do you want to change this to? If you just want to discuss changes, that is ok, but does not need an active protected edit request. — xaosflux Talk 15:10, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Xaosflux – Instructions: Please add the following sentence (or a ce version thereof):

The Mobile sidebar preview gadget only works with the Vector skin.


If the above is unclear please let me know. This is my first ever attempt at requesting a change to a copy-prot. page. Thanks. JoeHebda • (talk) 15:32, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Never mind, per קיפודנחש's rationale maybe it's best to wait for the script to be updated at meta. - NQ (talk) 16:17, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
