Hi Discovery, Just an FYI that the wikidata team is doing something that touches mobile search on wikidata. The paragraph below from Lydia is the relevant one:

To see the problem simply type some word into the search box on the mobile site and then try the same with typing Q1.
It belongs to this phab ticket: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85368

Hey :)
Bene is doing this in part as a volunteer and in part as an intern for us (he started earlier this week). The patches are parts of fixing two remaining issues we have from what I can tell:
- The table of content box is bigger than the actual table of content
entries. You can see this here for example: https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2
- The others are for fixing the search. Wikidata's page titles are the
Q IDs. The default search on mobile uses page titles. So to find anything you have to type in the Q ID. This is obviously not very useful. It needs to work on labels like it does on the desktop site. To see the problem simply type some word into the search box on the mobile site and then try the same with typing Q1.
Hope that helps.If you have more questions please let me know.
Oh and the relevant ticket for getting Wikidata to work nicely on mobile is: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78430 I think once the search and the table of content are fixed I think we're done there and I'll have Bene work on other things again. I don't plan to tackle editing further at the moment.
Cheers Lydia
