Gentlemen, where is the Share button? All other sites have them by now, but on Wikipedia one cannot even find its definition in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share . At least on ones account preferences there should be a way to "activate sharing with the following websites ... " causing a share button to appear in the navigation menu. If there is an extension, then wikipedia should install it and not depend on browser plugins, etc. OK, I made https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31853

Your bug has been duped to Bug 27027[0] `"Share" button in Wikipedia:` which in turn links to enwiki discussion[1]. (I think there have been several onwiki/mailing list discussions actually)

Were already planning on having it in the Android app. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31481. There is a ready plugin to do it for anyone who wants to implement it before we get to it.

Comments from a bystander:
1) the discussion in https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Product_Whitepaper#Red_link:_Post_to_soc... is obtuse and overanalytic. Share buttons should be a no-brainer. 2) Android alone is a very narrow start.

Am I correct in assuming "Stick the URL into a SEND_TEXT intent" reads out as "hands the URL off to the Android Sharing Facility, so the user is presented with a list of applications that can share a string of text"?
If so, +1

Exactly. There is already a ready plugin to do this. Would be easy for you to pick it up and add it to the app.

There's already a gadget on zhwiki which adds a bunch of 'share' links if you want that.
