Hi Amir -

I can't speak to the specifics of the edit button but we are investigating mobile editing in the app along with the collaboration team this quarter[1] for wikidata descriptions.

This will include work on some fundamental issues (notifications for one) that will (hopefully) open the door to more mobile editing functionality in the app.

Interestingly due to a bug we do show them on English Wikipedia and I was wondering myself whether that was the right behaviour or not.

I think this might be a question for design (cc'd). We do have long press to edit text anywhere within the article.

Hi,

I've been asked by a Hebrew Wikipedia editor: Why is it only possible to have the edit button at the top headings (==), but not smaller headings (===, etc.)?

This should be in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Android_ FAQ#Editing :)
