Discussion

Noting that this is apparently resolved for the Android app (according to T73966 at least..!) — @Pavel Bednařík (WMCZ): are you referring to the mobile apps or the mobile version of Wikipedia? ~TheresNoTime-WMF (talk) 16:40, 24 January 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
Yes, in android app are categories, but very hidden - I didn't know about them before reading this phab. JAn Dudík (talk) 08:50, 31 January 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
@Pavel Bednařík (WMCZ): I have reworded your proposal to clarify this only effects logged-out users and those who don't have advanced mode turned on. Hope this is okay. Thanks for participating in the survey! MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 22:28, 8 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
Pavel, I don't think that categories are something necessary or necessary for the average reader. I believe that 99% of readers don't even know what categories are for. --Frettie (talk) 18:29, 10 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
Advanced mode really should be made the default. So much better than the normal mobile view. DemonDays64 (talk) 00:29, 11 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
