Hi Please let me know easy way to create new article in Mobile mode

Hey @Kasyap there is no special workflow for creating a new article in "Advanced mode" unfortunately. I think the best workflow would be:

- navigate to the URL of the page you want to create (for example if I wanted to create a page called xyzabc I would navigate to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/xyzabc)

- use the link that says "Start the _________ article"

I hope that is helpful

Hi, I can't seem to get the link you mentioned. I'm a pretty experienced editor, autoconfirmed, logged in, advanced settings on. I've been switching to desktop mode, editing the URL to remove the "m.', then clicking on the redlink to create it (in tiny font).

Oh, I see the problem. If I use the link you provided it works fine, but if I search in Wikipedia I get a url that doesn't display a link, e.g.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Xyzabc1234&ns0=1

which can be edited to change the /w/index.php?search= to

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyzabc1234&ns0=1

and then removing the &ns0=1 to get

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyzabc1234

Better than what I was doing, but a button or revised url would be more convenient. :-)

P.S. Thanks everyone for a very valuable tool!
