This is because the article primarily consists of a list and there isn't enough text in <p> tags to trip the readability icon, so the code in https://github.com/mozilla/readability/blob/main/Readability-readerable.js does not find enough meaningful text.

It works in larger French wikipedia articles, e.g. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napol%C3%A9on_Ier .

It may not be as easy as "just" adding li tags to the list of things it checks for because (a) it'll make things slower and (b) it may catch e.g. things like list-based menus as "readerable" content, which is wrong.

Given this is wikipedia and a short article and things generally work, I don't think this is high priority.

This larger page is not "readerable" : https://www.capgemini.com/fr-fr/jobs/FMF5TYcBZo4YQg5-R3bP/ingenieur-systemes-linux-hf/

This isn't on Wikipedia and will have a different cause - the markup will be very different.

Please file an issue on github.
