"We" being the Wikipedia editors? Are they aware about this possibility? I think it would be good to contact the big communities (tech-ambassadors?) and get them involved just in case. For reference, the Commons community wasn't happy at all about mobile uploads being "simply enabled", and image uploading on desktop was a feature existing in desktop just like page creation. While uploading good pictures from you mobile device is perfectly possible, creating good articles from scratch from your mobile device is objectively a complex task. I personally agree that a plan a bit more elaborated needs to be in place: templates looking good on mobile, new articles assigned to a specific category automatically? in a specific namespace other than Main? While not extremely complex, all this doesn't sound to me "EASY" as to recommend newcomers to pick this task. I would remove the tag.

I guess this means that MobileFrontend should have a parameter to define the namespace where new mobile articles are created, defaulting to Main. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
