It depends what  you  call 'desktops', and possibly laptops should be included. Mobile devices mainly use iOS or Android. The phenomenon could possibly be explained with: Serious, dedicated users probably make up the majority of readers of The Signpost and will be using proper computers rather than editing from phones. Just my opinion, nothing to get uptight about. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:47, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm probably a massive outlier in this, but I've edited exclusively on my tablet since June 2019. I mainly edit using desktop mode though, so my views probably don't count as mobile ones. Clover moss  (talk) 07:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Ditto, I edit from an Android phone or tablet more often than not. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:59, 8 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I applaud the ten top contributors to Signpost content, two of whom serve(d) as Editor-in-Chief. The Signpost is one of the community's very few levers against the WMF and clearly we publish content for which there is a readership, so much so that some elements seek to censor us. The Wikimedia projects are too-widely read to not be accompanied by critical examinations of their goings-on. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:58, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Phones and tablets are “proper computers” in 2020, and I’ve been using them to edit Wikipedia since 2005, first with the HTC Apache. The desktop and laptop market has been on a downward spiral since 2012, and is unlikely to get better.  Instead of looking to the past, Wikipedia should be looking towards the future.
