Bug report for en.m.wikipedia.org
Hi there. I spoke with you on IRC a few days ago and you showed me the new mobile Wikipedia site you're working on. Wanted to submit a bug report to you.

Articles with special characters seem to fail.

For example, if you do a search for 'ricardo'

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki?search=ricardo

Then click on Ricardo López Felipe, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_L%C3%B3pez_Felipe, it returns an error page saying article not found or fails in some strange way.

Ricardo_L%C3%B3pez_Felipe does exist.

Hope this helps. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 04:35, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * This has been solved. Thanks for the report. Hampton (talk) 17:44, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Problems?
Hi You might want to get in touch with Stifle to follow up on his enquiry at WP:VPT. Not sure if it's connected to your recent changes at MediaWiki:Common.js or some other recent developments, but you'll know better. Cheers, Amalthea  23:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering
 How do you edit MediaWiki namespace without being an administrator? 59.95.114.88 (talk) 14:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I removed the prod as the article was previously sent to AfD, see Articles for deletion/Paul Thomas Abbott. The nomination was withdrawn. If you want to delete it, it'll need to go via AfD again. Fences and windows (talk) 21:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Mobile site redirection
Are you going to discuss the changes you're making to Common.js with the community? There was a thread started on the talkpage of Common.js while the redirection was disabled but you've gone ahead and turned it back on. I can't find any consensus to automatically redirect people to the mobile site. For one the redirection is broken, I clicked my contributions link and was redirected but the redirection didn't carry the parameter over so when I asked for I was given. Secondly, if I ask for I want *that* webpage, not to be redirected to a barely functional alternative (no edit button, no history link, no login page, no Watchlist link, no contribs link etc. etc.) Redirecting people based on their useragent string is a huge change to site functionality (a usability nightmare in my opinion), not something that should be being done unilaterally. ~ Ameliorate ! 14:01, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * That's probably the nicest possible message you could send for such a major fuckup on my part. Many, many, many apologies. I was attempting to test, but my browser wasn't reporting errors and wasn't showing the new JS file only the previous one. Perhaps that bug was stopping it from going through. Anyhow, once again. Many, many apologies. --Hampton (talk) 22:14, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Mobile main page in French
Hello Hcatlin,

I just want to let you know that we add ID's on the main page to make it "mobilable"! The IDs will be : "accueil-lumieresur" (for FA) and "accueil-actualite" (for news). Now the titles (h2) for mobile main page would be : "Lumière sur..." and "Actualités et événements". Feel free to respond on my user page. Have a nice day!

Home page for mobile Wikipedia
Hi, I import to Russian Wikipedia code to redirect mobile users to http://ru.m.wikipedia.org, but didn’t know, where I can edit it home page http://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/::Home. --A.I. (talk) 16:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I need CSS selectors for both the Article of the Day and In The News. Something like "#aotd" or whatever will work using standard CSS3 selectors. For more examples, see http://github.com/hcatlin/wikimedia-mobile/blob/master/config/wikipedias.yml

Indonesian Wikipedia for mobile

Mobile Homepage for Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian Wikipedia
Hello Hampton, please configure the mobile home pages for Upper Sorbian Wikipedia (hsb.m.wikipedia.org) and Lower Sorbian Wikipedia (dsb.m.wikipedia.org), see bugs 23281 and 23282. And please repair the random link call. It shows an error page for Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian now. Some weeks ago it still worked.

Thank you in advance.

PS: Probably the links don't work correctly if the link text contains non-ASCII characters; the link text is used as string for the action attribute of the form tag. The Upper Sorbian random button link text contains the character ř (Připadny) and the Lower Sorbian random button link text contains the character ś (Pśipadny). I think, therefore the random button link doesn't work correctly.

Hello, You seem to use  in the Mobile Homepage and my phone won't display it correctly. Why don't you simply use a button ? Regards, --Tael (talk) 02:09, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hampton Lintorn-Catlin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Slim. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
