Bug #: 31291
Summary: Mobile gateway doesn't handle cross-wiki links very
well
Product: Wikimedia Mobile
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: generic
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
On English Wikipedia, you can link to sister projects using a variety of short
colon prefixes: for instance n: to go to Wikinews, s: to go to Wikisource etc.
If you link to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/n:Spanish_smoking_ban_takes_effect_in_bars_and_restaurants
It takes you to
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Spanish_smoking_ban_takes_effect_in_bars_and_restaurants
But if you link to
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/n:Spanish_smoking_ban_takes_effect_in_bars_and_restaurants
it doesn't take you to the mobile version of Wikinews but the non-mobile
version.
I tested this on an iPad. I wanted to see if using n: and s: prefixes could be
used to hack QRpedia to link to sister projects without having to rewrite
QRpedia.
