Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Mobile and apps/Categories shown in the 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. Discussion

Support both in apps and on mobile web. And display the members of a category in apps, as currently they seem to be blank (except for that there is no notice for that either)… Tacsipacsi (talk ) 18:22, 3 December 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
