My reply to this probably should not have been comment 10, though I was and am annoyed that anonymous editing was disabled. I should have just filed a separate tracking bug, which I've now done at bug 53069. (In reply to comment #15) > Maryana Pinchuk, thanks for your detailed explanations. You convinced me. My thanks as well. I've split this explanation out to bug 53069. Parts of it should have tracking bugs. Other parts need discussion. :-) (In reply to comment #15) > The only problem that I see in the current situation is wrong impression from > the message that tells anonymous editors "You must be logged in to edit pages > on mobile".

Jon seems to agree (or is at least willing to consider patches for better language; cf. comment 9) and comment 14 seemed to focus exclusively on the issue that I've now split out to bug 53069 (obstacles to enabling anonymous editing via MobileFrontend). Re-opening this bug with a better summary for the labeling issue (i.e., tweaking the wording of "You must be logged in to edit pages on mobile" message to be clearer). I think there's general agreement that the current wording could be better, though of course speak up if you disagree and would like to keep the current wording ("You must be logged in to edit pages on mobile"). I think even a simple change such as switching to "You currently" would help. We can't give the impression that we think it's okay to lock out anonymous users. While individual developers and project managers may disagree with this, it's a community matter ([[m:Founding principles]]). (There's also the question of what the general expectation is with the extension and whether the current default in MobileFrontend.php is correct. Filed as bug 53076 now.) I've also filed a separate issue for bug 52442 comment 15 (re-examining the user experience when an anonymous user doesn't have permission to edit). This is now bug 53073. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
