This is a valid assumption and one we could test. A zero might even prompt new discussions. We'll never know unless we explore it. I'm just curious if there are any plans to test this and other similar hypotheses. > This number would have to be generated by MediaWiki or Flow, but surely not > by MobileFrontEnd. As I said, MobileFrontEnd is only a skin. Not true. MobileFrontend has a few more bits of code that make it a little more than a skin - e.g. special pages like Special:Nearby. It currently records this number via a hook and is agnostic to Flow and MediaWiki (although this code could easily be added to MediaWiki core to be standardised) _______________________________________________ Design mailing list des...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
