Re: [WikimediaMobile] Wikimedia android and server setup

[Michael Holloway]

Hi Amit,

The Wikipedia Android app isn't intended to be a general purpose MediaWiki
app.  The app does support switching backends via developer preferences,
but there are many assumptions throughout the codebase that are specific to
the production Wikipedias.  We use backend switching mainly for testing
against environments such as the Beta Cluster
 or MediaWiki-Vagrant
.  The app wouldn't work
"out of the box" with an arbitrary MediaWiki installation.

There is some demand for a general purpose MediaWiki mobile app.  Please
see the Phabricator ticket  for
related discussion.

Best,
Michael

[WikimediaMobile] Wikimedia android and server setup

[Amit Ahlawat]

Hello Wikimedia


I have a question regarding the open source server and android code available 
from wikimedia, specifically those at the links below:


Server side: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download

Android: https://github.com/wikimedia/apps-android-wikipedia


I want to host my own wiki using the mediawiki source on a server. I want to 
ask whether the open source wikipedia app allows connection to mediawiki 
servers not owned by Wikipedia.



Thanks,

Amit
