I talked to Dan Duvall today and he said that many mobile browser
tests fail on default vagrant instance because other extensions that
are not hard dependencies of MF are not activated by default when
activating the mobilefrontend role (extensions such as Echo, GeoData,
VisualEditor). There are two things we can do:
1. Make other extensions that mobile uses dependencies of
mobilefrontend role in vagrant
2. Create a separate role, e.g. mobilefrontend-browsertests, that will
list mobilefrontend and all those extensions as its dependencies
I was wondering if there is anyone who uses vagrant and would like to
have MF enabled, but not all the other extensions. If not, 1. seems
like a simpler solution.
Thoughts?

Today's update to the Wikipedia Beta App[1] includes the following changes:
Add Today menu
Dark theme: appearance of images, background on editing screens, remove
inline colors from within tables
References with page internal links work now
Fix crash when clicking on link in references panel
Show number of matches when finding in page (4.1+)
Remove flashing of empty message in saved pages/history screens during
loading
Language variants for Chinese
Experimental:
Show flag button for "Page issues"
Show "Similar titles" link to go to disambiguation page
It may take an hour or two before it is visible for everybody.
Please report any bugs you encounter, so we can fix them before we push the
bits to the production app.
Enjoy!

We've gotten a couple of reports of accessibility issues with the iOS app,
especially with buttons not being read aloud in VoiceOver mode.
I've filed https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69120 so we don't
forget to research exactly how to fix that up -- there should be
accessibility role and label fields we can set on the labels and buttons to
let VoiceOver pick them up correctly, so that part should be an easy fix
once we get in there.
We may also want to make slight adjustments to content HTML to reduce
redundant link titles.

Lots of bugfixes and some more UI translations; no major new features
introduced (but we did add a 'Today' link in the W menu which brings you
back to the main page for the current language).
This should help address the issues with crashing on startup, though we
need to do further investigation on what might be causing those.
There are still known problems on some old iOS 6 devices which we're
continuing to poke at.

On Desktop you don't have an edit button for the section, too:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikipedia_Signpost%2…
The content of the section in mobile is included with a template if i see this right, isn't it? To change this content you must edit the template target.
Kind regards

Hi, then in this case the problem is that on mobile web there is only one pencil icon on this page when there should be pencils for multiple sections. Should this go on Bugzilla?

Hello!
To the mobile web problem: do you mean, that it only lpads one section instead of the entire article? If yes: thats normal and expected. On mobile you can edit only a section, not the entire article.
Kind regards,
Florian

I get a network error when I try to edit on the Android app, and on moble web only a small section loads in the edit window of the Signpost article I want to edit, but I can read articles ok. Did something break for mobile editing? Thanks, Pine
Damn, forgot mobile-l :)
