I'll ask for a better link, as this one is not permanent. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 10:00, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Other similar gadget[edit]

There is a similar Gadget-MobileView from french wikis, 2012: https://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-MobileView/Documentation

And a proof-of-concept for a scrollbar-article-minimap idea by Matma Rex (meta:User:Matma_Rex/article-map.js, [1]) Very inspiring. --Atlasowa (talk) 10:45, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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]

@JoeHebda: Is your goal to get this wording on the Special:Preferences page description in the section below? — xaosflux ^Talk 16:28, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Testing and development

Xaosflux – The page that is copy protected is MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar so the request is to please add the above sentence to MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar page. — JoeHebda • (talk) 16:34, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done Added (Vector skin only) notice. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux: Per T126553 קיפודנחש's User:קיפודנחש/mobile-sidebarcopy.js works with other skins as well. Any chance of incorporating it to MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar.js? Thoughts? - NQ (talk) 14:09, 20 June 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]
