Hi Discovery, Just an FYI that the wikidata team is doing something that touches mobile search on wikidata. The paragraph below from Lydia is the relevant one:

Oh and the relevant ticket for getting Wikidata to work nicely on mobile is: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78430 I think once the search and the table of content are fixed I think we're done there and I'll have Bene work on other things again. I don't plan to tackle editing further at the moment. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
