 * I'll ask for a better link, as this one is not permanent.  10:00, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * 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)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: 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)
 * Not done: OK, i give up. One more mystery gadget. --Atlasowa (talk) 08:31, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Other similar gadget
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, ) Very inspiring. --Atlasowa (talk) 10:45, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

The CURRENT message is:

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)


 * Octicons-person.svg 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)


 * 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)

 * ✅ Added (Vector skin only) notice. — xaosflux  Talk 14:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Per '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)
 * 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)
