For a fair while now, we have been working hard on the implementation of a mobile-friendly skin for Bulbapedia. However, this comes with significant growing pains as Bulbapedia articles and templates have been built near-exclusively for viewing on desktop and laptop computers for the vast majority of the past ten years and mobile devices aren't always compatible with such content.
We would like to thank everyone who submitted reports for the {{bp|Mobile March}} improvement drive. We are currently compiling the list of templates requiring updates, as well as looking into what code(s) may be the cause of any mobile viewing issues. Template updates will be worked on and applied soon, once the issues have been diagnosed.


This is where we need '''your''' help; for the remaining days of March, and the first week of April, Bulbapedia is running another improvement drive, '''{{bp|Mobile March}}'''! So we can optimize mobile browsing as quickly as possible, we want to know what articles you regularly view via mobile devices, and if there are any templates on them that don't seem to look quite right on mobile view.
While the improvement drive has come to a close, additional reports can still be submitted directly to staff. We do ask that people continue to follow the report format outlined on the {{bp|Mobile March}} page.
 
Specifically, what we need:
 
#Title of the article (or article type).
#Note which mobile device, operating system version, and browser you're using.
#Description of which templates are causing viewing problems.
#Screenshot(s) of the templates, so we can view and diagnose the problems.
 
All month long, we wish to put top priority on compiling a list of templates needing priority mobile optimization. We will be accepting submissions of the previously listed information on {{BMGf|173711|the forums}}, [https://twitter.com/bulbapedia Twitter], [https://www.facebook.com/Bulbagarden Facebook], [http://bulbagarden.tumblr.com/ Tumblr], and [[Bulbapedia talk:Mobile March|the drive's official talk page]].
 
Thank you in advance to everyone who assists during this important improvement drive.

We would like to thank everyone who submitted reports for the Mobile March improvement drive. We are currently compiling the list of templates requiring updates, as well as looking into what code(s) may be the cause of any mobile viewing issues. Template updates will be worked on and applied soon, once the issues have been diagnosed.

While the improvement drive has come to a close, additional reports can still be submitted directly to staff. We do ask that people continue to follow the report format outlined on the Mobile March page.
