No access to the "preferences" page

Hi! I didn't find any "preferences" button to edit them, using the default mobile theme.

Is a patch planned for this?

Hey, can you explain what you are trying to do in more detail? I am not sure that I understand. Thanks.

I would just like to access the same settings on pc as on mobile, which is currently not the case. The "Settings" page does not display the same content as the "Preferences" page.

That's correct. The "Preferences" page controls the Desktop skins (Vector, Monobook, Timeless, etc.). However the mobile site uses a unique skin (MobileFrontend) so it has a different settings page.

If you need to access the "Preferences" page from your mobile, please scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and in the footer you will see a link called "Desktop". If you click this link you will be viewing the desktop site on your mobile. From there you can go to "Preferences".

Do you think an update will fix this problem?

Thanks for your answers, @AHollender (WMF). Wishing you a good start to the evening.
