One unique UI feature of Wikipedia is that it has tons of tables that are super wide. They look fine on a monitor with 1080p+ resolution, but reading such articles on mobile has always been horrible experience.
Unfortunately, this "modern" UI (larger font, narrow width) causes the exactly same problem on desktop.
- carabiner 5y agoGod yes this is annoying. TV episode summaries are in wide tables too and it's excruciating to read on mobile. These are mostly freeflowing text, not statistics, and there's no benefit to being put in a table. What is with the over-tabulation on Wikipedia?
- thrdbndndn 5y agoI in general prefer tables but yeah having summary of TV episodes makes no sense and has been one of my pet peeve of Wikipedia formatting for a while.
- ciphol 5y agoSometimes when this happens, I rotate my phone 90 degrees so that the whole width of the table can be easily seen.
