As part of the responsive rollout, user pages on mobile will likely be updated today. Once this update happens, mobile user pages will have a fresh look, and they will include additional sections similar to the current desktop version. User pages on desktop won’t change yet, so you’ll only see this on mobile.
As with the other responsive updates, the page will vary depending on the size of the screen. If you’d like a sneak peek of the small screen, you can check out this mock version of m.wikihow.com/User:JayneG

I think my favorite thing is the new badge designs, but it will also be great to be able to access your articles from your user page on mobile.
As always, if you see the changes go live and notice any issues, please feel free to let me know!

can yaal do it on laptop to
Cool! I was frustrated that wikiHow did not have mobile user pages, especially because on Wikipedia I have user pages on mobile. Thanks @JayneG
.
Ah, seeing the new badges, I am finding the previous design a bit too serious. The userpage looks serious in a good way and presentable with a neat layout. Well done #wikiHausers

Oooh, cool! Can’t wait to see it launched xD

I love the welcomer badge! I love how it has a heart!!
There seems to be a lot of changes this year @JayneG
. Is there gonna be a lot more to come? Is wikiHow re-doing everything??
Also, will we get a sneak peak of the desktop user pages?
And is are both RS and FA star’s gonna be different? I noticed your RS is now orange!!
So many questions…

And it’s live! Check out a user page on m.wikihow.com
to see it in action!
It’s so great to read the positive feedback already - these are great updates happening.
@Ruah
we are working towards having a completely responsive site, so all of these small changes are part of the one big change - definitely more coming! Nice spotting on the star colors too! :)
Love it! Love the welcomer’s badge heart too @Ruah
:). Also I can see profile pics are circular- nice touch
Great job to the team who designed this!!!
I just looked at my user page on the mobile site, I love the new layout! Oh, and I love the welcomer’s badge as well xD
I tested my User page on the mobile site and it looks pretty good. The one issue I see is that the barnstars end up looking a little weird - the pictures end up shrinking to the point of near-invisibility. Is that something we’d adjust within the template, or is that an engineering issue?
I love the new mobile user page!!! Excellent!

@Galactic-Radiance
, let’s see how the barnstars look when the desktop gets the update too and we can go from there.
@VY
great play on words!
That’s neat! I couldn’t zoom in to see what were the things at the top but it looks great. I love the improvements made to wikiHow.

@JayneG
also wondering that^
I can’t seemed to find the mobile wikihow. For example, I googled my wikiHow account on my phone, and it came up as a desktop, not a mobile! You said it’s live, so whats the issue with my iPhone? (i did type the address as: User: Ruah - wikiHow
@Ruah
I am able to view your user page on the mobile site using my computer, so I don’t see why you can’t view it on your iPhone via mobile.
