Aha -- I can confirm this on my old Nexus One running 2.3.7. Looks like
it's jumping down when the preview shows up... and there's a couple other
oddities in there.

I've filed a bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67135 --
this'll go into the team's todo list.

Thanks for the report!

Android 4.4 includes a built-in screen recording tool; unfortunately it's
hidden on the *command line* so you have to use the developer tools to
trigger it on an unrooted phone. :) ('adb shell' then run 'screenrecord'
with appropriate options.)

Thank you. I didn't see the options (buttons) for pre-selected
summaries, nor the "Other" option.

On further experimentation, they are hidden above the top of the
screen, and I need to scroll up to see them.

I'm using the native browser on an Android 2.3.5 device.

Thanks Dab - downloaded. The 'night mode' or 'under the blankets' seems a

Since phone screens are small, you may have noticed that the editing
process is broken up over a couple of separate steps. The preview stage
gives you a chance to select some 'canned' brief edit summaries, or select
'other' and input your own.

Here's a screen recording I just made of the process:

With the new generation of the app we've gone with a table of contents menu
in place of the confusing auto-collapsing of sections (which required
individually opening every section in turn for a full read, and was still
hard to scroll back *up* somewhere).

There's a button on the toolbar to open the table of contents; from there
you can jump immediately to any section.

Sections are no longer collapsed on opening a page. This makes it harder to
reach the latter sections of long articles, and presents the reader with a
mobile-unfriendly "wall of text".

Can this be configurable (akin to some browser's "privacy" mode)?

I don't doubt that astronomers and the like would prefer red-on-black.

You can enter an edit summary. Either choose one of the predefined options
for how you improved the page, or pick "other" to enter a manual edit
summary.

I think you did (miss something). It gives you canned summaries "Fixed
typo", "Fixed grammar", "Added links", and an "Other" option. If you
select "Other", you can provide your own summary.

I've just made my first edit. Unless I missed something, there was no way
to enter an edit summary.

This is troubling in itself, but it is also at odds with the WMF's new
terms of use, which require disclosure of paid edits, and suggest that that
can be made in edit summaries (among other options, equally unavailable in
the app).

The distinction is false. I have not (and more to the point, the many users
who know nothing about our internal workings will not have) installed a
"new" app; I have upgraded an existing app.

There was no mention in the list of changes, and no warning elsewhere, that
this extremely useful functionality would disappear from my device when I
did so.

Hi Andy,

The new app was built in native code from the ground up. So the nearby
feature wasn't removed as much as it was never implemented.

I apologise if I sound pedantic, but this distinction is important; for the
initial release of the new app, we focussed on the barebones features that
we needed to have included as much as we possibly could while still getting
this out of the door. The nearby feature didn't bubble up in importance as
much as the others.

Right now, the most requested item in our feedback channels by far is a
dark mode for night time reading. The number of requests for that are at
least an order of magnitude larger than requests for any other feature, so
we're focussing our efforts on that. But nearby is definitely on our
roadmap.

Thanks!

Dan

Indeed. There's not really much we can do about that, unfortunately.
However, the IP ranges for mobile operators are typically softblocked, so
if you have an account you can log in and use that to edit.

mobile-android-wikipe...@wikimedia.org points to an OTRS queue which makes
it much easier for us to manage the feedback. We're trying to keep all the
feedback in one channel so that we don't lose anything.

[Brion Vibber]

Congratulations to the Mobile Apps Android team on their first release of
the new app!

iPhone users, rest assured we're hard at work polishing up the iOS version,
which brings the same updated feature set. Expect it in the next few
weeks...

[Wikimedia-l] Revamped Wikipedia app for Android now live!

[Dan Garry]

Hi everyone,

If you love Wikipedia and have an Android phone, you’re in for a treat!
Today we’ve released a revamped Wikipedia for Android app, now
available on Google
Play .

Our new features include:

   - *Speed* – Our new, native app allows you to browse and edit Wikipedia
   faster than ever before.
   - *Editing* – You can edit Wikipedia on the app. Logged in or logged
   out, we thank you for all your contributions.
   - *Recent pages* – We provide you with your reading history, so you can
   tap as many links as you like without ever getting lost.
   - *Saved pages* – You can save select pages for offline reading and
   browse them even when you don’t have a data connection.
   - *Share* – Use your existing social networking apps to share in the sum
   of all human knowledge.
   - *Language support* – The app allows you to seamlessly switch to
   reading Wikipedia written in any language.
   - *Wikipedia Zero* – We’ve partnered with cellular carriers around the
   world to provide Wikipedia free of data charges to users in many developing
   areas.

Coming soon:

   - *Night mode* – We’ve gotten lots of great beta user feedback; one
   feature people love is reading Wikipedia in darker environments. The
   inverted colour scheme offered by night mode will make that much easier.
   - *Discussions* – Talk pages are an important part of Wikipedia for both
   new users and experienced editors alike. We’re bringing them to the app.

This release is just the beginning! We’re still working hard on creating
new features to make the app the best Wikipedia reading and editing
experience out there.

Please help us improve this app by sending a note to our mailing list,
mobile-android-wikipe...@wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Dan
