Hi Jacob I've cc'ed wikitech to get an update on bug https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T483 The last update here was in February 2015. I personally think this is one of our most urgent bugs to fix, but it's not clear who is responsible for this, and who has the expertise to help resolve it.
The fundamental issue this privacy policy hits, is many our editors are also hitting - that there is no way to style wikitext content differently on a mobile screen. This has been a recurring problem for some time now. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T483 The only way to make any progress here currently is the following: * Add the nomobile class to an element to hide it * Add a reset rule to MediaWiki:Common.css to reset problematic styles e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mobile.css I'm near positive these very same issues were discussed over a year go for the privacy policy on English Wikipedia and I think the conclusion was there was little that could be done in current form (if anyone can remember where that conversation happened). Note: For wikimediafoundation.org it might be acceptable to move all inline style rules into https://m.wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mobile.css and use media queries to style content differently. Any capable web developer should be able to help you with that (I'm not sure who is building the privacy policy for you).
