The Wikimedia Foundation plans to remove support for WML for Wikimedia projects, in order to steer more development toward the web's de facto markup language, HTML, on mobile web browsers.

A trial of the WML deprecation is slated to begin February 17, 2014, and assuming no major hiccups, will no longer be supported as of February 24, 2014.

WML usage has fallen dramatically and appears to now be below 0.009% of hits across Wikipedia in general. Even in markets with greater feature phone usage, direct WML usage still falls below 0.1%; in some of these markets there is no WML usage.

If you have concerns, please reply to this thread.
