Bug #: 28815
Summary: wikipedia.org should detect mobile browsers and local
language, and forward to xx.m.wp
Product: Wikipedia Mobile
Version: .5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: server
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Hi, currently http://wikipedia.org seems to recognize some mobile browser and
redirect to http://en.m.wikipedia.org in some cases (couldn't find the regular
pattern). Also http://m.wikipedia.org will recognize the browser locale and
send the user automatically to the corresponding xx.m.wikipedia.org.
So the pieces are in place, just not so integrated.
It would be good to have wikipedia.org doing the work of recognizing a mobile
browser and the locale in order to redirect the user automatically to
xx.m.wikipedia.org.
This would help not only the users typing the URL manually, but also e.g.
device vendors willing to have a pre-configured Wikipedia bookmark in their
browsers, since one URL would serve all their users regardless of locale,
region, etc.
