Hi everyone,
We’re excited to announce that starting today, mobile statement editing is
available as a beta feature on Wikidata.
Following your feedback from our earlier prototypes, we’re now rolling out
live editing for String and Wikibase Entity ID datatypes directly in the
mobile view. This marks a big step toward making contributing to Wikidata
easier and more accessible for editors using mobile devices.
How you can help us refine
-
Enable the Beta feature: Go to your Preferences --> Beta features -->
check "Edit Wikidata Items on mobile devices" and save.
-
Try mobile editing: Visit the Wikidata Item Wikidata Sandbox (Q4115189)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4115189> on your mobile device (or use
mobile view on your desktop)
-
Test the edits: Try editing statements with the supported String and
Wikibase Entity ID datatypes
-
Share your feedback: Tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d
like to see next on the project discussion page: Mobile editing of
statements
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Usability_and_usefulness/Item_e…>
Please note: This initial release supports only String and Entity ID
datatypes. Support for additional datatypes will follow in upcoming
releases.
If you’re interested in participating in deeper testing or user interviews
