There look to be more than two dozen template or template documentation pages which link here; that is a sign that this is a transcluded piece of some larger template or templates. Any discussion will therefore need to centre on the main templates using this as removing this one while leaving those as-is will badly break things. K7L (talk) 16:23, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

... which is why I didn't nominate it for deletion. LtPowers (talk) 18:27, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.

So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:

• The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
• Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
• Readers care about page issues and consider them important
• Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues

Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

This proposal is to change how {{ambox}} templates are displayed. I posted a list of templates using the {{ambox}} base at mw:Topic:Ughilsroamjr53ld; mostly, it's {{translate}} and {{style}}. They're currently not displayed on Mobile Web, and they might be afterwards. I don't think this project will have a significant effect here. I think it's designed for the big Wikipedias.

I am having issues creating pages on mobIle, the usual "create page" option isn't available from the search bar and linking to a non-existent page doesn't give the potion either. I can't even post a new topic in the pub. Please forgive me if this is a PEBKAC error, I've been traveling a year without a phone and have been editing in Internet cafes. - unsigned comment by User:46.235.72.78

I don't know how to solve that problem, but I created Jyrgalan so that you can work on that article in the meantime. Thank you for your updates to Karakol. Ground Zero (talk) 15:41, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Example of improvements

Hello,

In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.

What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.

For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.

If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

Thank you!

Template:Ambox/doc#Usage_Instructions

On Template:Ambox/doc#Usage_Instructions: the first example has nothing to do with the so-called "The code above should return:" (which is actually {{Ambox| type = notice| text = Hello world!}}). Prahlad balaji (talk) 02:59, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
