Hi James Salsman: As I said last year, this is a design decision that CommTech can't work on. You should check out the Advanced mobile contributions project -- post on the talk page there, and someone from that team can talk to you about it. Sorry for the disappointment on the survey. -- DannyH (WMF) (talk) 19:17, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
