Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Mobile and apps/Turn off mobile talk view
Turn off mobile talk view
- Problem: At some point in I believe 2019, there was a special mobile web talk page view added, on by default on every talk page. I really do not like how this works, but I have to switch to normal view on every page.
- Who would benefit: I'm sure a lot of people would like the old view. There are really annoying bugs only present in the "fancy" view like
Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T241402 that make talk pages harder to use, and it's generally not a good feature.
- Proposed solution: Option in settings to keep this view off when talk pages load.

Discussion
I also suggested previously that page would be more useful if it displayed some indication of how recent &/or big each thread is, then you could decide whether to tap into an individual topic, or view them all together. I think one of the dev's has kindly made a phab ticket for that. However, for those who want to always go to the "read as wiki page" view, a preference toggle would be handy. There's hardly anything on the mobile pref's page, so shouldn't be any problem with settings overload there. Pelagic (talk) 12:02, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

- Support Yeah. It does have some issues (at least for me) now. It would be nice to have an option to turn it off until its stable. Kaartic [talk] 18:36, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
