@Zsinytwiki: What kind of portals? Could you please provide an example link? Thanks, --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 13:56, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Aklapper: anime and manga portal (example) Its very broken on mobile. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/150909911952392193/778296496264052787/Screenshot_20201117-173215.png
This is something that will have to be changed on that wiki by the people there and is accordingly out of scope. --Izno (talk) 00:47, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
- Most enwp portals do display poorly on mobile. A few such as Portal:Canada do work, but in general we lack the resources to mend them. Help and suggestions would be welcomed at WT:WikiProject Portals. Certes (talk) 01:22, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- We have designed flexible portals in Wikipedia in French. See Wikipedia:fr:Wikipédia:Portail Témoin. The template use Flexbox CSS and is adapted to large and narrow screens. See also Wikipedia:fr:Modèle:Canevas portail flexible/Documentation. PAC2 (talk) 18:00, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- So have we in Spanish, see es:Portal:Deporte. --NaBUru38 (talk) 20:52, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'll note the example given, w:Portal:Anime and manga, looks fine in mobile web, just not in the app. This suggests an issue with the app, specifically, and not the design of the portal. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- the community can fix this. Have you seen mw:Extension:TemplateStyles ? Using that for this page will allow you to style it for mobile web and apps Jdlrobson (talk) 16:23, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
