Bug #: 29016
Summary: Disabling mobile view throws us to start page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Redirects
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
When using Wikipedia.org on an iPhone the default is the mobile view. If we
scroll to the bottom of the page and chose the ordinary 'big' site view and
next chose to disabling the mobile view permanently, we end up at the non asked
for start page and sort of loose the page we were at. This shouldn't happen.
All we want here is disabling the mobile view to read the same stuff but in
ordinary 'big' size view. We don't want to be served some other page besides
the 'big' size site view preference change. We want the same lookup word we
were reading in mobile view but in big size ordinary view instead!
Since the start page of Wikipedia is so easy to reach anyway, there is no nead
to force it upon someone trying to just change the view style settings. It is
hoghly irritating to be thrown away from the interesting lookuped word that we
are reading info about and get the start page instead just because we wanted to
change from mobile to ordinary style.
Ideal is to get the same lookuped word page but in a different (biger size)
view. Nothing more nothing less.
To reproduce:
on a default setup iPhone, go to wikipedia.org, search for some search term and
on the words page scroll down to the bottom. Hose to view in ordinary Wikipedia
the chose to disable it permanetly and watch how your interestning looked up
word page disapears and the start page is served instead.
