There's no explanation there.

  It says "All edits attributed to this IP (besides those resulting from a server misconfiguration in 2013 and another one in 2015) have been made by one of Wikimedia's system administrators" with links to discussions of the two misconfiguration incidents. What more were you looking for?

    If you access it on a phone you come to a practically blank page. https://i.imgur.com/xkIkyFB.png https://i.imgur.com/xkIkyFB.png

  It seems it's not present on mobile, at least, but on desktop there's a yellow box with an explanation. a server misconfiguration in 2013 and another one in 2015 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_119#Edits_from_127.0.0.1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(techni...

    Navigation templates (seen at the bottom of many articles) are also missing from the mobile view.

      They have been for years. The issue is that they're tables, and often nested tables (there's nothing to prevent how nested afaik) which don't render that well on the mobile UI. Rather than figure out how to render them or come up with an alternative layout, they opted to hide them.
