             Bug #: 31011
           Summary: MobileFrontend section folding doesn't avoid
                    downloading never-viewed text and images
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
               URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama?useformat=mobile
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: MobileFrontend
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


At least on the views given to regular web browsers and a web browser
masquerading as an iPhone, the text of pre-folded/hidden sections seems to
still all be transferred with the rest of the page.

For instance the 'Obama' page transfers a whopping 720 KB of HTML (thankfully
compressed down to 128 KB) although all that's shown is an infobox, four
paragraphs, and a few section titles.

At least on the desktop version of Safari with tweaked User-Agent for iPhone, a
large number of thumbnail images were also loaded despite being in hidden
sections.
