User:Podehaye/IRC notes

[5:14pm] chiborg: pdehaye2: As far as I know and as my research goes, all skins "support" gadgets in the sense that the gadget code is loaded in every skin. However, if the gadgets make certain assumptions about the structure of the markup, then the gadget might not work for skins where the markup is different.
[5:15pm] pdehaye2: @tgr I am particularly interested in skins that get mw.notify to work properly on mobile
[5:16pm] pdehaye2: @chiborg thanks. then the q becomes why mw.notify does not work with MobileFrontend
[5:17pm] tgr: pdehaye2: MobileFrontend / MinervaNeue is a very special skin that throws out a lot of content to make the page lightweight
[5:18pm] tgr: I'd expect it to work with all other skins
[5:18pm] tgr: for some value of "work", not necessarily a good user experience on mobile
[5:18pm] pdehaye2: ah! interesting, tgr
[5:19pm] tgr: some skins have been designed to be responsive and work on small screens, so I'd try those
[5:19pm] chiborg: pdehaye2: I've done a very quick test (going to the mobile wikipedia in my desktop browser, opening the dev tools and calling mw.notify.directly) and it displayed a notification a the bottom of the screen.
[5:20pm] tgr: if you are asking about Wikimedia wikis, Timeless is a responsive skin
[5:20pm] tgr: and there is work on making Vector responsive but I think not quite finished yet
[5:20pm] pdehaye2: what skin is used on my mobile when i go to wikipedia? how do i find out
[5:20pm] RhinosF1: pdehaye2, It's in the settings dialog
[5:20pm] tgr: ("responsive" here meaning that it rearranges itself on small screens to better adapt)
[5:21pm] chiborg: pdehaye2 That's MinervaNeue plus MobilFrontend extesion
[5:21pm] pdehaye2: i m asking because i need to pick a skin for my wikibase instance, and it s crucial that mw.notify and to some extent OOUI work
[5:22pm] tgr: pdehaye2: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Efly/Gadget-CreateNewItem.js has comments about what $1 / $2 are, are you looking for information beyond that?
[5:22pm] chiborg: pdehaye2 for mobile and wikidata you might also look at the termbox project (still under development): https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Development/Termbox
[5:23pm] chiborg: wikibase, not wikidata
[5:26pm] Isarra: pdehaye2: You could also try any of these: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Mobile_skins
