This is cool although I'm not sure how I feel about. This is not just a mobile problem, this is a skin problem. In the distant future, I would hope after Trevor's work on the skin system we would have a much healthier ecosystem of skins which work nicely in both mobile and desktop mode. If Vector

On mobile we continuously get bugs related to inline styles in templates. For example: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68001 When these happen we usually spend time investigating, discover it is because of a troublesome inline style in the template and then we communicate this on
