It's difficult to promote events like:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/RBSA_Backstage_Pass
when mobile visits to that URL are redirected to:
http://uk.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/RBSA_Backstage_Pass
and errors are returned for all http://uk.m.wikimedia.org pages.
I know this has been raised on this mailing list previously, but there's still no sign of a fix.
The impact of this problem can be understood by considering that yesterday it was reported that 40% of Wikipedia's growth is mobile, versus 4% desktop.
Can this serious bug be (re-)escalated as a matter of urgency, please?
