Hi, today I've enabled MobileFrontend on wikidata.org. So far, it's still considered a trial, so no automatic redirection for mobile devices happens. While it was primarily needed to satisfy a dependency in WikiGrok, this is as good chance as any to revisit the topic of having a mobile UI for Wikidata. The news are both good and bad: while claims unstyled and therefore look broken, they don't take whole desktop screen's width which is a good indicator that a bit of CSS should fix it. I think that even viewing Wikidata from mobile would be really awesome.

Awesome! I'm very keen to look at this. I helped out with a GSoc task around this over a year ago and I think weve moved along a lot since then! On Dec 11, 2014 6:54 PM, "Max Semenik" maxsem.wiki@gmail.com wrote:

Update: Jon, in his usual awesomeness, have applied some CSS to make it look nice, and is talking with community about slight modifications to mobile page to make look better on mobile. After we deploy a configuration change[1] on Monday, it will be even better.

Exciting,
Did we check in on the raw JSON writing that came up at the showcase?
thanks

Yes. The poor UX of the actual workflow aside, it's not possible to save any edit if you manually edit the JSON.

And yeah the edit link is hidden now to be less confusing. I actually did that during the meeting :) On 16 Dec 2014 13:15, "Dan Garry" dgarry@wikimedia.org wrote:
