Hi, as a measure to standardise our URLs, I&#39;ve introduced[1] a new<br>
special page to change mobile site options, Special:MobileOptions.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><em style="font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Hooray!</em></div>

Currently, it handles only beta features opt in/out. For example, to<br>
enable beta features, you need to visit<br>
[[Special:MobileOptions/BetaOptIn]] which is much clearer than the old<br>
schema with urls like[2].</blockquote><div><br></div><div>You&#39;re correct, &quot;/Special:MobileOptions/BetaOptIn&quot; does indeed look a lot nicer than &quot;?mobileaction=opt_in_mobile_site&quot;.</div><div> </div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> However, this change invalidates the old<br>
URLs. The question is what shall we do with them:<br>
* Create b/c redirects to special pages<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1 </div><div><br></div><div>So, &quot;?mobileaction=opt_in_mobile_site&quot;, should just redirect users to &quot;/Special:MobileOptions/BetaOptIn&quot;.</div>
