Bug #: 33527
Summary: Wikipedia:About is hard-coded and not
language-sensitive
Product: Wikimedia Mobile
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: android
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The app has a menu item called About which currently links to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About. However, the actual name of that
page is different in different languages, and so it can cause the About
disambiguation page appear in a particular language - for example, in Serbian,
Macedonian, Croatian, Russian and Bulgarian.
In Polish, it causes a 404 error - for some reason disambiguation is not
called, and even more strangely, there is a Wikipedia:About page in Polish.
A better way to implement this is to navigate the inter-wiki link for a
particular language. In the case where there is none, we need a graphic stating
the page does not exist.
The text of that error page could read:
"Sorry, there is no About page in this language. Click here to read the page in
English?"
