Problem: Wikipedia editors spend a significant amount of time categorizing pages so that relevant pages can be quickly found. Not having access to these categories puts mobile app users at a significant disadvantage over desktop users. As more users in the developing world come online, they are missing a critical part of articles, especially if they start editing the encyclopedia. In addition, people are switching to mobile at a rapid pace, so feature parity with desktop sites are critical.
Who would benefit: Mobile app users (both readers and editors)
Proposed solution: Add a list of categories that article is in at the bottom of the article as a list. Also, create a navigation link to access these categories along with the article's sections.
Support Yes please, with all the limitations us Mobile-editors are nothing but second 🥈 class citizens, I have to switch to the desktop 💻 site every time I want to add categories. Donald Trung (Talk 🤳🏻) (My global lock 🔒) (My global unlock 🔓) 10:40, 29 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support both in apps and on mobile web. And display the members of a category in apps, as currently they seem to be blank (except for that there is no notice for that either)… Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:22, 3 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support Lack of categories is one of several frustrating aspects of reading and editing on a smartphone. PamD (talk) 09:54, 7 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support Especially on Commons, I keep switching to the "desktop version" because I need to see categories. Syced (talk) 05:05, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
