These are the steps you need in order to start testing the mobile web:


 * 1) With you mobile browser, go to Wikipedia in the language you prefer e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org, http://de.wikipedia.org ...
 * 2) If you are not logged in, you need to register / log in.
 * 3) Tap the menu icon at the left of the search box.
 * 4) Tap "Log in".
 * 5) Tap "Sign in" or "Create account".
 * 6) Follow the steps until you are logged in.
 * 7) Once you are logged in, you need to enable Beta mode.
 * 8) Tap the menu icon at the left of the search box.
 * 9) Tap "Settings".
 * 10) Tap (don't slide) on the "Beta" slider to switch it to "on".
 * 11) Tap "save settings".

Now you are ready to start testing!

The next step is to create a sandbox page. Please don't play yet with actual Wikipedia articles! It is easier to do the following steps with a laptop:


 * 1) Go to your Wikipedia user page i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Qgil
 * 2) In the address bar of your browser add, "/TestUpload" to the URL i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Qgil/TestUpload
 * 3) In order to bypass a known bug, paste this long text to the new page. Save the changes.
 * 4) Now visit the new page with your mobile browser.

A big blue button should appear at the top of the page, as shown at the screenshot in the right.

You can test uploading pictures with your mobile. In order to get the big upload button back, the easiest is to edit the page from your laptop removing the image.
