Mobile Gateway

MediaWiki Mobile is the mobile interface for Wikimedia projects (only Wikipedia at the moment), run by Hampton Catlin and written in Ruby.

Behind the scenes
The mobile interface can be reached by visiting langcode.m.wikipedia.org – a mobile interface for every Wikipedia we have already exists, even if there is no translation. People are sent to the mobile interface by explicitly requesting it (by visiting m.wikipedia.org) or through automatic redirection based on User-Agent (see ). The mobile interface of MediaWiki is an application that reformats a Wikipedia article into something more suited for a range of mobile devices. This page gives some information about how to make sure the mobile interface works best for your project.

Translations
The mobile application requires separate translations from the MediaWiki PHP software. The translations are done through the Translatewiki community, and by the last count there are only 25 messages that you will need to translate. If you want the application to be usable in your language, please visit Translatewiki and volunteer your services.

Please note that currently only the content languages are supported by the software for interface messages, and you cannot configure your own desired language yet when using Mediwiki Mobile. (21806).

Redirecting users
Which wikipedias are redirecting is now controlled by the WikimediaMobile extension and the $wmgUseWikimediaMobile setting.
