- I personally think one thing that should be improved on is the userboxes on mobile. If you are in dark mode the area around the userboxes appears white. Also sometimes the userboxes don't actually look like a userbox in mobile and it's just gibberish (Mobile version: https://imgur.com/a/NsZWsAZ, Desktop version: https://imgur.com/a/TBMWm7s).

- I'm pretty sure that's not a WMF developer issue, but I could be wrong. Have you tried asking for improvements at the talk page for the relevant userboxes and templates? Jonesey95 (talk) 23:04, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- I think the gibberish is probably something wrong with the template. Dark mode is a known issue and has already been declined by this team. --Izno (talk) 01:08, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
- User pages are rendered no differently than articles. The issue is the templates, layout, etc. simply weren't designed for mobile, and it is up to the owner of the userpage to fix this. As such I'm going to archive this proposal. Thanks for participating in the survey, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 19:04, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
