Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

I am reporting this bug on behalf of someone who emailed OTRS with this problem. It's got full details on the issue (see below) with a recommended fix. 

Popping thi in MediaWiki because I assume it relates to the code, rather than WMF deployment :)

----- Original Message ---

Broser: Safari Mobile
Operating System: iOS5 (5.0)
Special settings: Accessibility features enabled for iOS (voiceover off, zoom on, reverse
screen colours off)
Text being looked at:  Any page on en.m.wikipedia.org

The markup on the mobile versions of Wikipedia includes the following in the head: 

<meta name = "viewport" content = "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0,
maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0" />

The effect of this on iOS 5 Safari is it is now impossible to pinch to zoom the page when
viewing a page on the mobile wikipedia (which is where Safari is directed by default).  

This has only been an issue since the launch of iOS 5, I didn't have any trouble with
previous versions of iOS.  I can only assume that up until now Safari would ignore the
viewport metatag, or at least the restrictions on zooming.  

As a visually impaired user, I depend on the ability of Safari to zoom web pages heavily. 
Whilst it's true that iOS also provides a system-wide screen zoom with a 3 finger tap
gesture, it is far from ideal in use (it makes scrolling around an app difficult, and if
the app itself also suppors scrolling or swiping then things can get confused very
easily).  

Please look into removing this tag, or at least relaxin the restrictions on the way the
page can be viewed.
