whyyy does wikipedia not redirect mobile links to the desktop website when you have a desktop UA?
- xigoi 1y agoWhy do they have a separate mobile website at all instead of writing proper CSS to make one website work on all devices?
- wodenokoto 1y agoBecause people on desktops asking for the mobile site should be able to view the mobile site. The url specifically asks Wikipedia to serve the mobile site.
- voidUpdate 1y agoWell when I follow a desktop link on my phone, it redirects me to the mobile version, despite the URL specifically asking to serve the desktop site, it just doesn't work the other way around. Plus I never asked to see the mobile site, I followed a link someone else posted
- BeFlatXIII 1y agoWhy do people spam the mobile URL, leading me to degraded reading experiences?
