Hi everyone,

We’re excited to share a new prototype that brings statement editing on Items to mobile.

You have been asking for the ability to edit statements on Items via mobile devices. Until now, this hasn’t been possible in the mobile view, requiring editors to switch to desktop mode to make edits, resulting in a clunky and frustrating experience.

This prototype is designed to show how we are trying to make contributing to Wikidata easier and more accessible for editors using mobile devices. It has been updated based on a first round of user testing we conducted earlier in April. Now we’d like to get more feedback from you before we move forward.

What we’d like from you

Watch the video demo of the prototype here (also available on commons) and tell us what you think! You can share your feedback on the project discussion page: Wikidata talk:Usability and usefulness/Item editing experience/Mobile editing of statements

Here are a few questions to help you get thinking about your feedback:

What did you like most about the solution?
How well did it perform compared to your expectations?
Were there any parts of the prototype that were confusing or unclear?
Is there anything about the solution that could be problematic or risky?
If you could change one thing about the solution, what would it be?
Any other comments or suggestions?

Your feedback will help us refine the design and guide the next steps of development.

If you’re a Wikidata editor who uses mobile devices, you can also sign up to participate in future user testing for the editing of statements on mobile devices. Sign up here to participate in prototype testing and interviews with our UX team.

Cheers and thank you!
