This is a tracking bug tracking no bugs. In bug 41976 comment 5 Denny said:

According to http://en.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Version MobileFrontend is not
installed in Wikidata. Is there a place where we can test Wikidata content
(fake or real) in mobile devices?

Although interestingly has ZeroRatedMobileAccess installed. A contradiction?

My reason to ask is that Lydia is proposing "to create a mobile version of the
Wikidata website for easy reading and editing on phones" as a Google Summer of
Code project:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Mobile_website

About reading, it looks like we are basically talking about a good way for
MobileFrontend to handle tables. Or is there anything else relevant to Wikidata
only? Bug 36936 and Bug 28528 are already trying to address good rendering of
tables in MobileFrontend. Marking them cautiously blockers of this bug.

Anything else?


About editing... We are currently not supporting mobile editing for any site.
Again, it looks like Wikidata needs would concentrate in mobile editing of
tables. The good news is that Wikidata pages are basically made out of form
fields with plain or very basic text. The not so good news is that the content
of those fields needs to be quite precise, not the best for mobile typing.

Still, I can see the point in Wikidata mobile editing, perhaps open to certain
types of fields / actions. But it is quite pointless to ask this before mobile
reading is ready...
