Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Mobile and apps/Mobile site or desktop by browser's function/Proposal/en
- Problem: Almost all modern mobile browsers provide the ability to request a mobile or desktop site through the browser's function. However, depending on the type of browser and its version, this function with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia websites does not work or does not work correctly. The most shocking transition in Opera (3.5.1 (7), iOS 15): https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lièvre --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lièvre, https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Зайцы --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Зайцы
- Proposed solution: Provide correct transition for at least the most popular browsers
- Who would benefit: Editors and readers who usually use this function in their browsers
- More comments: The solution will not completely solve the problem with editors and readers that do not use the usual way of transition and are forced to cut m. in URL, because not all of them also use this function.
