The redirect is configured at the Varnish layer, specifically in text-frontend.inc.vcl.erb. Basically, it redirects any user agents that contain 'mobi', 'android', or several other strings to the mobile interface. There used to be an exemption for agents identified as tablets, but the exemption was removed.

Which I never asked about. Steven, you clearly don't know the answer to my question, but that's fine: you're not forced to reply.

So, to be even more specific, can someone from Mobile or Analytics say if they'll be monitoring what effect, if any, this change («tablet redirect to mobile interface») has on the metrics known as "active editor" and maybe also "very active editor", "new contributor"?

Nemo, 

Look at the dashboards for the mobile team. They include monitoring of active editors (5+ content edits/month) and new active editors (5+ content edits/month who registered recently) on mobile. They do not include very active editors or Erik Zachte's 10+ edits metric (which we don't use much in product analysis).
