Snaevar and Wikidataians,
Thanks for this information. I didn't know about the mobile version of
Wikipedia.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my Palm OS 4.0 browser on my handheld
phone.
I get the error message "WML content contains invalid syntax".
I wonder how many internet phone browsers the mobile version of Wikipedia
does and doesn't work on.
Since WikiData is designed to interoperate with MediaWiki and
MobileFrontend, as well as the mobile version of Wikipedia (I assume), and
possibly universally on all browsers (might be the hope), I wonder if there
are any "backend" WikiData data base changes that would be part of the
solution to reaching all obscure browsers, - in the emerging world, for
example.
What would be the email list in which I would explore accessibility
of MediaWiki and MobileFrontend, as well as the mobile version of
Wikipedia, as well as other mobile wikis, on all obscure browsers
(including my Palm OS 4), and for all 3000-8000 languages and in around
~200 countries?
At World University and School's Subject Template, we've listed a number of
different 'Wikis for Courses' -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE#Wiki_Software_for_Co…
for people to teach and learn with. These two seem to work on my Palm
OS
4.0 -
Wet Paint -
http://wikisineducation.wetpaint.com/
Wikispaces -
http://www.wikispaces.com/
- in contrast to the mobile version of Wikipedia.
Because of MediaWiki's language support of < 280 languages (and potentially
all languages, including invented ones, dead ones, as well mathematical and
chemical symbols, etc.), I assume building out the mobile version of
Wikipedia to obscure browsers is a most sensible approach. Is this the
case? If so, how would I add to the mobile version of Wikipedia's code such
that I no longer get the error message "WML content contains invalid
syntax" on my Palm OS 4.0 ?
Thanks,
Scott

This is probably a bit out of scope for Wikidata, becouse the issue of how
mobile versions of wikis work with older browsers is an wider issue that
also affects MediaWiki and MobileFrontend.
