Description

merge template footer into real footer

• This is the “template footer”. (for lack of better term)
• This is the real footer:

Mediawiki doesn’t support to put arbitrary text into the footer. Problem with template footer is that it needs to be added to every wiki page at the bottom with {{Footer}} and that it does not show up on special pages. Therefore some footer links are duplicated.

Could html be included into CSS (other way around)? Or could the footer CSS somehow pull the footer html?

remove blockquote extraneous newlines

• See Testpage4 - Whonix
• A newline in the wiki markup after the opening <blockquote> tag should not result in an empty quote line in the generated html.
• A newline in the wiki markup before the closing </blockquote> tag should not result in an empty quote line in the generated html.
• Should functional similar to the <pre> tag.

mobile menu

On mobile there is MENU on the top right. A user has to click MENU before other links such as HOME DOWNLOAD, DOCS, etc. become visible. That is bad usability. Would be better if the mobile menu would be similar to the desktop menu.

merge template footer into real footer

CSS cannot pull in or add HTML. Mediawiki’s built in footer is only list of links, as far as I can tell. Therefore, a separate module is needed. Something like Extension:Header Footer - MediaWiki which allows a footer page to be created (multiple in fact, that target namespaces or specific pages).

remove blockquote extraneous newlines

add this css:

blockquote {
    white-space: inherit;
}

Is that the behavior you expect? I added a third test.

Fixed!

Not great but if there is no other option, yes. I guess JS blocking doesn’t happen much on mobile, therefore ok-ish. Though, it shouldn’t get worse for non-JS mobile.

Good to know.

Sounds good. I will try this somewhat soonish.

{F12282270}

is that visually ok? Requires only one piece of css and one js

.top-bar-section ul {
width: auto !important;
}

and js

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $("#navwrapper nav:first").addClass("expanded");
});

No, that wastes too much space. Looks really unprofessional / broken.

That looks much better!

How does it look with the legal banner? Does the legal banner overlap the Whonix textual string on the top?

The Whonix textual string on the top looks like wasting too much space but I guess it will be needed due to the legal banner.
