[Wikitech-ambassadors] Deployment of tablet redirect to mobile interface (action needed)
Sorry for the short notice, but later today we will be deploying an update that will redirect tablet users by default to the MobileFrontend interface (which has been updated to better accommodate tablets). Users can still switch back to the desktop interface if they prefer it. There is one minor local update that we want project administrators to make that is related to this update. Please edit your local instance of the MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-terms-url to include the URL to the mobile version of the WMF Terms of Use in your language. The links to the translations can be found at https://m.wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use. For example, I went ahead and set https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-terms-url to: //m.wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use/de This will enable the Terms of Use link at the bottom of each page in the mobile/tablet interface. More information about the tablet redirect will be posted to the WMF blog later today.

This seems kind of silly, and something that should not be a user responsibility. Why not have a hook in mobile frontend and override the message via the WikimediaMessages extension? --bawolff ___ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors

Already working on that. Regardless, many projects will want to update this message as translations of the new ToU become available, so it's good if local projects are aware of it anyway.

That isn't any less silly, we have Special:MyLanguage on Meta for a reason.

And before you reply that this is "silly", yes it's all silly. We just realized that this was an issue today, so we're fixing it in the only way possible for today's launch, which is to edit the messages locally. We'll have something better in place later.

Ryan, Would you please be able to inform this list again when the matter is resolved, so that we can delete the mediawiki message. Thanks.

I get reminded of https://xkcd.com/1174/ : "less information and a dumbed-down interface", "I like the tablet and desktop being the same", "Wiki for kiddies", "Mobile version sites are limited". https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/17/wikimedia-sites-get-a-new-look-on-tablets/ Importance of data increases: I reiterate my question, for which I had no answer.

Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Deployment of tablet redirect to mobile interface (action needed)
Question/clarification: Would you like the MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-terms-url page to be created even if there is currently no translated ToU for that language? And if so should it be pointed to the non-existent page?

To repeat... The mobile report card (mobile-reportcard.wmflabs.org) measures the daily and monthly editors over time. Mapping the month-to-month and year-over-year rates of change tells us what the trends are in mobile editing activity. There are also desktop editing trends in separate dashboards (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data/Dashboards). -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/ ___ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors
Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Deployment of tablet redirect to mobile interface (action needed)
Now that Special:MyLanguage is finally available on the Foundation wiki, I've updated the i18n message to handle redirecting to the appropriate language automatically (via the WikimediaMessages extension). If your wiki has MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-terms-url overidden locally, you can now delete that page. Thanks!
