Bug ID: 49653
Summary: Forced redirects to m.wikipedia.org (and lack of a
return redirect)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Smartphone
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Redirects
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When I enter "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64"; in my address bar with
Chrome on Android, I am force-redirected to
"http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64";, which is not the URL I entered.
If I then check the "Request Desktop Site" checkbox, the page reloads but I
remain at "http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64"; and I must manually remove
the 'm.' from the URL in the address bar.
Possible solutions:
1. Display a banner with an optional redirect to m.wikipedia.org
2. When "Request Desktop Site" is checked, redirect to wikipedia.org
3. Request a per-domain "desktop site mode" from the Chrome team.
I tend to access the "Desktop Site" when trying to link to TOC/Heading anchors
within a page.
I understand that mobile mode is most useful in many situations.
