Nope, I don't own one. I can just use the preview for mobiles from wikia.

It's quite difficult to code for all the browsers available nowadays. Some of the CSS features were introduced relatively recently. So older browsers won't be able to display the grids properly.

I also realized, that some browsers claim to be up to date, and posess all the features, but actually don't, or some are bugged. The best way to avoid those, is to use plain pictures, but we don't want to go back to that.

And wikia also does some weird stuff. For example, I couldn't figure out, how wikia's "thumb" works. I couldn't position the icons correctly on these. It's not padding, they must position the image somehow differently.

So I decided to make my own "thumbnail" for floating images and displaying the caption. I tried, to have it look like wikia's "thumb", as close as possible. My captions are small font and grey. If somone decides to display "thumb" captions in caps/smallcaps and red, the grid captions would be still in small and grey. That's dirty coding, but I don't know how else make it working. At least, it's a small change in only one template to adapt it.
