Show categories in the Wikipedia app
- Problem: Wikipedia editors spend a significant amount of time categorizing pages so that relevant pages can be quickly found. Not having access to these categories puts mobile app users at a significant disadvantage over desktop users. As more users in the developing world come online, they are missing a critical part of articles, especially if they start editing the encyclopedia. In addition, people are switching to mobile at a rapid pace, so feature parity with desktop sites are critical.
- Who would benefit: Mobile app users (both readers and editors)
- Proposed solution: Add a list of categories that article is in at the bottom of the article as a list. Also, create a navigation link to access these categories along with the article's sections.
- More comments: This was previously proposed by myself as part of the 2017 Community Wishlist Survey where it received 55 votes, placing it as the 30th highest voted item. You can find it at Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Mobile and apps/Categories shown in the app.
