-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Watchlists are coming to mobile Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:52:20 -0800 From: Jon Robson <[email protected]> Reply-To: Wikimedia developers <[email protected]> To: Wikimedia Mailing List <[email protected]>, Wikimedia developers <[email protected]> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jon Robson <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 2:44 PM Subject: Watchlists are coming to mobile To: mobile-l <[email protected]>, Wikimedia Mailing List <[email protected]> After a few months of development the mobile team is launching watchlists to the mobile site tomorrow. The feature to start with will give a simplified recent changes view a la the desktop site as well as a reading list view for users who are simply interested in keeping track of articles they are interested in reading. This change also brings in login and account creation functionality to all Wiki* projects. This from my perspective is one of the most exciting mobile developments so far as it makes the watchlist star a much more prominent figure in the user interface and will hopefully encourage new users to create accounts to use it, many of whom may be unaware that Wikipedia can be edited. The hope is these new users will find the feature useful and can be lured into the realm of becoming a contributor to our projects via mobile. Provided we don't run into any issues during deployment this should be deployed tomorrow. Please feel free to comment on this mail but if you experience any bugs in the aftermath please raise them here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=MobileFrontend You can also try out the new feature a little early by opting into the beta here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MobileOptions Looking forward to all your feedback.
