On-wiki communication

The mobile interfaces of Wikipedia have varying levels of support for notice and talk features that are core to the healthy and effective participation of editors. This page documents the current state and the work of several teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address these gaps.

This page provides a central, high-level, watchable page to track the progress of this work. As teams reach major milestones we’ll keep this page updated. The table on this page indicate a team’s understanding of how completely the issue has been addressed. "Yes" items are complete and the team(s) believes it has addressed the issue for all wikis. The table on this page are for tracking progress across languages and form factors. "No" items have not yet been completed, but many are in progress or being investigated. Other items are partially complete or have limited availability. If you believe an item should be given a different status please go to the individual Phabricator task or talk page to provide feedback on that specific issue, if they are linked.

Each team maintains individual project pages and Phabricator tasks for their work, and we consider those team documents to be the most direct way to stay updated on specific issues or platforms. The individual project pages or Phab tickets are also the best place to provide feedback or specific suggestions on individual features.
