Hi.

first, in case you are not the right person to ask this, i apologize. if by any chance you actually know who *is* the right person, i would be very grateful if you could indicate it.

continuing with the assumption you *are* the right person:

so we needed to add some mobile/handheld specific css on hebrew wikipedia, and it turns out we do not know exactly how to do it.

First, we added a new file: http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki:Handheld.css Adding the file was not a problem, but it does not seem that the handheld devices actually load it.

the documentation for $wgHandheldStyle actually says that not all handhelds will load this file.

it seem that the only css loaded on hebrew wikipedia for mobiles/handhelds is: http://he.m.wikipedia.org/stylesheets/default.css

however, nobody in he wiki has the permissions required to edit this file. so:

  • again, if you are not the right person to ask this - apologies
  • if there is some magic incantation by which we can gain control over our handheld-css - we'll be thrilled to learn.
  • failing that, could you please add the following to our css (whatever it mab be)?
.wpAbbreviation:after { content: " (" attr(title) ")"; }
abbr.wpAbbreviation { border: none;}

(these two lines will help us deal with "abbreviations", which behave differently, as the abbr actually rely on the tooltip, and many handhelds can't deal with tooltips).
