The mobile site is also still available, by design.
"Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?
The Wikipedia community, as part of their request to the Wikimedia Foundation to carry out this protest, asked us to ensure that we make English Wikipedia accessible in some way during an emergency. The English Wikipedia will be accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. Because the protest message is powered by JavaScript, it's also possible to view Wikipedia by completely disabling JavaScript in your browser."
- gojomo 15y agoWell that's a silver lining from my perspective: a lot of people will learn how to disable Javascript in their browsers.
- pclark 15y agoand then forget to re-enable it and be baffled as to why their browser is utterly deprecated.
- jarek 15y agoand wonder what makes the few well-designed websites that don't need javascript to be read that special ... or so I can dream.
- redthrowaway 15y agoThe internet isn't a static thing, these days. You can get by without js, but you can't do much in the way of interesting dynamic content
- sebphfx 15y agoWell with the direction CSS is taking, Javascript isn't only for 'cool and moving things' anymore. I use Cufon for fonts, since it's better and cleaner than font-face.
- jarek 15y agoA lot of sites these days seem to be skipping right over the "interesting" part and going straight to the static/dynamic distinction.
