Wikimedia-Apps/iOS-FAQ

Allgemein

Wo kann ich die App herunterladen?

Die App ist weltweit im App Store von Apple verfügbar.

Wie navigiere ich in der App?

Beim Öffnen der App gelangst du zur Hauptansicht. Oben hast du Zugriff auf Suche und Profil. Die Hauptnavigation unten bietet schnellen Zugriff auf Entdecken, Orte, Gespeichert, Verlauf und Suche.

Nach dem Öffnen eines Artikels befindest du dich in der Artikelansicht. Die Artikelwerkzeugleiste bietet Optionen zum Öffnen des Inhaltsverzeichnisses, zum Lesen des Artikels in einer anderen Sprache, zum Hinzufügen des Artikels zu deiner Leseliste, zur Suche innerhalb des Artikels, zum Ändern der Leseeinstellungen und mehr. Du hast auch Zugriff auf das Profil, das Benachrichtigungen, Benutzerseite, Diskussionsseite, Beobachtungsliste, Anmelden / Abmelden, Spenden und Einstellungen enthält.

Wie melde ich einen Tippfehler, eine Ungenauigkeit oder einen Fehler in einem Artikel?

Wikipedia ist die größte Enzyklopädie der Welt, die jeder bearbeiten kann! Wenn du einen Tippfehler oder anderen Fehler in einem Artikel siehst, klicke einfach auf das „Stift“-Symbol oder wähle einen beliebigen Text aus und tippe auf Bearbeiten im Popover. Dies zeigt den Wikitext des Artikels an, den du dann bearbeiten und speichern kannst.

Wenn du viele Bearbeitungen vornimmst, empfehlen wir dir, dich über die Einstellungen anzumelden, damit du deine Arbeit im Auge behalten, mit anderen Bearbeitern sprechen und der weltweiten Wikimedia-Community beitreten kannst.

Wie spende ich an Wikipedia?

Du kannst jederzeit spenden, indem du zu Profil gehst und Spenden auswählst.

Wir unterstützen Apple Pay und je nach Standort auch andere Zahlungsmethoden.

Ich habe bereits gespendet; warum werde ich erneut um eine Spende gebeten?

Aufgrund unserer strengen Datenschutzrichtlinien verknüpfen wir deine Nutzung nicht geräteübergreifend. Das bedeutet, dass du möglicherweise eine Spendenanfrage in der App siehst, auch wenn du zuvor in einem Browser oder auf deinem Desktop gespendet hast.

Wähle bitte die Option „Ich habe bereits gespendet“, um uns mitzuteilen, dass du ein Spender bist, und schließe das Banner für den Rest der Kampagne.

Muss ich mit dem Internet verbunden sein, um die App zu nutzen?

Du benötigst eine Verbindung, um Artikel herunterzuladen und die Funktionen Entdecken und Orte zu nutzen. Du kannst jedoch Artikel speichern und später ohne aktive Verbindung lesen.

Entdecken

Warum gibt es einen Unterschied zwischen dem Hauptbildschirm der englischen Wikipedia in der iOS-App und der Hauptseite der englischen Wikipedia im Web?

Both apps present information from various languages in a card-based feed we call Explore. This is because mobile apps do not present content on small phones in the "web page template" style that websites do. So we take the content from those main pages that volunteers own and create, and we present that as cards in an easily scrollable and customizable feed.

This also allows us to easily combine multiple languages into one place, which is not possible with the "web main page" system (each language is its own experience/page). It's also beneficial for multilingual users. The traditional main page is still available in the app, but the Explore page presents a more "mobile app" experience for easy browsing.

Users can also turn off the Explore feed and save their main page if they prefer to go to the classic view quickly and easily and not see the Explore version of the content.

Wie verberge ich eine Artikelempfehlung?

You can remove article recommendations from Explore by tapping the icon and tapping Hide this card. To remove all recommendations based on your reading history, tap the icon and select the Hide all Because you read Recommendations. You can also customize the Explore feed content from the Settings menu’s Explore feed screen.

Wie erstellt die App diese Empfehlungen?

When you read or save an article, we ask the Wikipedia search engine to provide 3 articles similar to the one you just read. We do this using a standard search interface and do not build user profiles or track specific users actions on our servers. Deleting your local History list (tap History, then Clear in the upper left), will delete your device's local reading history.

Wann erscheinen neue Inhalte auf der Entdecken-Seite?

New recommendations are added after you read or save a page in the app. A block of daily content (Featured Article, Top Read, Picture of the Day, etc.) is inserted the first time the feed is used each calendar day.

Kann ich Entdecken oder Empfehlungen deaktivieren oder ändern?

Yes, go to the Settings screen and tap the Explore feed option, and you can select the type of content or languages included, and also disable the Explore screen entirely. Turning off the Explore feed makes the Search screen the “home page” of the app.

Orte

Wie finde ich Artikel in der Nähe meines aktuellen Standorts?

On the Places tab! The first time you visit Places, you’ll be asked for access to your location by iOS. If you grant this access (which will be used only for Places search) the Places map should center on your current location and load the most popular places near you.

Muss ich meinen Standort freigeben, um Orte zu nutzen?

No. When you first use the Places tab you will be asked to grant location access. This is used only to find articles near your location. You can search for places by name, or drag and zoom on the map to use Places without sharing this location. If you later wish to grant access you can go to the Settings app and look for Wikipedia under Location Services.

Wie sehe ich meine gespeicherten Artikel auf der Karte?

You can use reading lists to create custom maps with pins for each article. This is a great way to plan a day touring a new area or even to look at historical events together on a modern map. On the top of the Places tab, select the filter option drop down. By default this is set to Top Read; selecting Saved Pages will filter the pins on the map to only places from your saved articles.

Kann ich mir eine Wegbeschreibung zu einem Ort auf der Orte-Karte anzeigen lassen?

Yes, by opening a pinned location in Maps. To do this, tap a location or select it from the list of locations. Under the Share action, you will find an option to Get Directions in Maps.

Warum wird ein bestimmter Ort nicht auf der Karte angezeigt?

Wikipedia is huge and ever growing. But it is not exhaustive. Not all articles have been tagged with their geographic locations, not all notable locations have articles yet, and some articles may not be viewed frequently enough to be Top Read in a specific area. Try searching for your location by name on the Places tab, or zoom closer into the area to narrow your search on the map.

Gespeicherte Seiten und Leselisten

Kann ich Artikel zum Offline-Lesen speichern?

To save an article for reading later, tap the “bookmark" icon in the bottom bar while viewing the article. You can also save articles from search results and other lists by swiping and selecting the bookmark in the actions menu.

To view your saved articles, tap the Saved tab. Saved articles, including their images, are available offline.

Wie organisiere ich meine gespeicherten Seiten in Ordnern oder Listen?

When saving an article, a shortcut appears at the bottom of the screen. Tap the shortcut to create and organize saved pages into reading lists.

You can also organize saved pages and reading lists from the Saved tab by tapping Edit.

Wie durchsuche ich NUR die Seiten, die ich gespeichert habe und offline lesen kann?

Tap the Saved tab of the app’s main tabs. At the top of this tab is a search box which will search through all your pages on device. You can also search within a single Reading list, by selecting the list from the Reading lists tab, and using the search box at the top of the list’s screen.

Wie sind meine gespeicherten Seiten sortiert? Kann ich sie sortieren?

By default, Saved pages are displayed in the order in which they were saved. To sort them alphabetically, tap the Sort button in the upper right (next to the search box) and select your preferred sorting.

Ich habe die Wikipedia-App für Android oder auf einem anderen iOS-Gerät, wie teile oder synchronisiere ich diese Listen?

While using the same account on both devices, you should be asked if you want to sync your lists across devices. Opting in will keep your lists in sync across both iOS and Android.

Kann ich auf meine Leselisten im Web zugreifen?

Currently you need to use a browser extension which is free and available on the Firefox, Safari and Chrome web stores.

Funktionieren Leselisten und Beobachtungslisten zusammen?

Currently Reading lists and Watchlists are separate and do not sync. Watchlist is available as part of your account in the Apps and on the Web. Watchlist is primarily used for editing, to keep track of, and react to, what's happening to pages you have created or are otherwise interested in. Reading lists is a feature unique to the Apps, and allows you to save lists of articles for future use, and for offline.

Ist es möglich, Leselisten gespeicherter Artikel entweder als privat oder als öffentlich zu markieren? Ist es auch möglich, solche Leselisten als eine Art Dossier über einen eindeutigen Link mit anderen zu teilen oder weiterzuempfehlen?

When you create reading lists and sync them to your Wikipedia account, those lists are private, and not accessible by anyone else. They cannot be made public.

Sharing reading lists with a link is not supported at this time.

Wie können Benutzer das versehentliche Löschen ihrer Leselisten verhindern oder diese in der mobilen Wikipedia-App für iOS wiederherstellen?

• Make sure you are logged in in Settings.
• Go to Settings > Article storage and syncing > make sure "sync saved articles and lists" is toggled ON.
• Go to Saved Tab > All Articles > pull to refresh on the list.

Sprachunterstützung

Kann ich Artikel in mehreren Sprachen lesen?

You can see content from multiple Wikipedias at the same time by setting up multiple languages in the My Languages setting. To do this tap Add Language and then search for the language you want to include.

Adding additional languages makes it easy to switch between languages while reading or searching, and combines content from across your languages in the Explore feed.

Wie entferne ich Sprachen?

Tap the More button on the search screen, or go to Settings and select My Languages. Tap Edit on the My Languages screen to delete, add or reorder languages.

Using only one preferred language will hide the language search bar completely, or under Settings > Search, set the Show languages on search switch to off.

Wie lege ich meine Hauptsprache fest?

Your primary language is the first language on your My Languages list. To make a language primary go to My Languages, tap Edit, and drag to reorder languages.

Wie ändere ich die Reihenfolge der Sprachen in meiner Liste?

You can change the order the languages in your My Languages list. Go to My Languages, tap Edit, and drag to reorder languages. If you make a new language first on your list, it will become your primary language.

Wie passe ich an, welche Sprachen in meinem Entdecken-Feed angezeigt werden?

You can customize which languages and which content from those languages are included in your Explore any time by going to your Settings. In Settings select Wikipedia languages. Here you can add and remove languages, and by selecting the Customize Explore feed option you can even select what content from which languages will be included.

Lesbarkeit und Barrierefreiheit

Kann ich die Schriftgröße ändern?

You can adjust the article text size using the Text Size tool from any article's toolbar. This setting affects the size of the text in articles, previews and summaries. To adjust the size of the user interface elements (like buttons) you can use iOS’s Dynamic Text setting, which will adjust the size of interface text across your device, including on Wikipedia.

Kann ich die Hintergrund- oder Textfarbe ändern? Gibt es einen Nachtmodus?

You can select the color palette for text and background, and also apply dimming to images in the Reading preferences screen of Settings. The theme will automatically be set to match your device's theme, on "Default (Matches system theme)", or you can choose to set your theme to Light, Sepia, Dark, or Black.

Unterstützt ihr die Smart-Invert-Funktion?

Yes. Turning on Smart Invert in the iOS Accessibility options will invert the colors in the app, except for images.

Kann ich Hilfstechnologien wie VoiceOver verwenden?

Yes. Our app supports VoiceOver for all navigation, and article content can be read by VoiceOver. We do not currently optimize for Switch Control or other dexterity technologies.

Wie lasse ich mir Wikipedia-Artikel von der App vorlesen?

The app supports screen reading via the voice features built into the OS and device. To have an article read to you simply ask Siri to "read the screen" with the article open. Or go to the Settings on your device, tap Accessibility then Spoken Content, and turn on Screen Reading. You do not need to enable VoiceOver fully to have articles read. You can make this a "Per App" setting if you want this to be available only in the Wikipedia.

Medienunterstützung

Kann ich Audio oder Video in der App abspielen?

Yes! Videos within articles can be viewed within the app, and audio clips can be played.

Teilen

Wie teile ich einen Artikel, ein Bild oder einen Link?

On the article or image, tap the Share button. Then choose the social network or app you want to share to. You can also save images to your Photo Roll or copy URLs from here.

Wie teile ich eine Share-a-Fact (ein Bild mit einem Zitat oder einer Fakt)?

To use the Share-a-Fact option, select the quote or fact text you want to share. Then long press the selected text and choose Share from the popover menu. Then choose 'Share-a-Fact' from the share sheet. The Share-a-Fact preview will show you how your image will look with ways to share the Share-a-Fact.

3 screenshots. First shows highlighting text and choosing Share from the menu. Second highlights the "Share-a-fact" option that appears in the menu. Third previews the Share-a-fact image, and gives choices for how to share on social media or in a message.

Kann ich auswählen, welches Bild geteilt wird?

If you are sharing an image, yes. For Share-a-Fact sharing, the first usable image of the article is selected. You cannot currently select a different image.

Links

Wie kann ich Wikipedia-Links aus Safari/Mail/etc. in der App öffnen?

If you have the app installed, simply clicking on links will open them in the App. You can also long press a link to Wikipedia, and then you will then be offered the option to Open in Wikipedia, among other options. (Note that links to Commons, Wiktionary or other Wikimedia projects are not supported at this time.)

Wie verhindere ich, dass iOS Wikipedia-Links automatisch in der App öffnet?

iOS uses your past link opening choices to determine how to handle links. To stop this:

1. Long press a link to Wikipedia.
2. Select "Safari" instead of the app.
3. You may need to do this a few times, but iOS will learn that you do not want these links opened in the app.

Wie öffne ich einen Artikel aus der App in Safari (oder einem anderen Browser)?

When reading the article, press the Share button on the toolbar. You should see options to open the link in Safari (or other installed browser) as well as the option to copy the URL to paste into other apps.

Widgets und Symbolverknüpfungen

Welche Widgets bietet Wikipedia?

We provide the following widgets that can be added to your Home screen, or Today screen:

• Picture of the day

Datenschutz und Datennutzung

Verfolgt eure App mich? Verwendet ihr meine Daten?

The app will track some of your actions, and send reports of crashes. In no case will we share that information with 3rd parties. Specific details on what information is collected can be found on the usage reports details page. We also have crash reporting to help us fix bugs.

TestFlight users: If a crash is detected, you will be prompted with the option to send us the crash report if you like. (Please say yes! It helps us a lot.) All collected data is anonymous.

To send crash reports automatically, please enable "Share with App Developers". This can be found in your iOS Devices Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

When you read an article, the article title is saved locally on your device in your reading history. Metadata about the article is also stored, including categories, time spent on article, articles visited before and after, and the article subject's coordinates (if available). You may clear your history at any time within the "History" tab, and the metadata will also be cleared. This information is not stored anywhere else except your device.

When you make a donation using the App, standard information is recorded by Wikimedia Fundraising so that your donation can be processed, according to the Donor Privacy Policy. The App also stores limited information locally on your device (timestamp, donation amount, donation currency) to remember that you made a donation from that device and allow us us to personalize your experience. No further personal details or payment information is stored locally on device. Your status as a donor is not associated with your Wikipedia username on the App at any time. You can clear your locally stored donation history at any time in Settings > Delete local donation history.

Wie funktioniert der „Wikipedia-Jahresrückblick"?

Wikipedia Year in Review is a temporary feature that leverages both the data stored locally on your device as a part of normal app usage, and publicly accessible editing data to show you insights on your relationship with Wikipedia over the year. Learn more about how this feature uses your data. If you would like to hide the Year in Review and all clear reports associated with it, navigate to Profile > Settings > Year in Review, and turn off Year in Review.

Verfolgt ihr meinen Standort?

When you tap Places, the app requests access to use the location of your device so we can determine your location using Apple's standard access methods. If users allow location access, we query Wikipedia for a list of articles that are nearby the current location. This is in no way associated with your account. The iOS application itself also does not store your location.

When enabling Location Services on your device, keep in mind that Apple can use your location information. See section 4, Consent to Use of Data, in their Terms of Use for more information.

Welche Informationen enthält der Nutzungsbericht?

You can refer to the page on event logging to see the various interactions and data we record. Keep in mind that not all events are logged on all platforms. If there's a specific scenario that concerns you, please reach out to the team so we can give you a definitive answer by referencing the code.

We use  Apple’s built in reporting to send information about crashes when you choose to allow that. When you send us a crash report (which we appreciate!), it tells us where in the code the crash originated from (the stack trace across all active threads), and other diagnostic information such as the iOS version and device type. This information doesn’t include, and is not tied to your Wikimedia user account or on-wiki activity, such as reading or editing history.

Bearbeiten

Wie erstelle ich ein Benutzerkonto?

On the app’s Explore or Article view, open the profile menu in the top right corner. Select the first menu Join Wikipedia / Login. Tap that option and then select the blue Join Wikipedia link on the log-in screen to create an account.

Muss ich angemeldet sein, um zu bearbeiten?

No, you can edit without creating a permanent account or logging in, but note that depending on which language Wikipedia you are editing, you will either be assigned a temporary account or your IP address will be associated with your edits. If it’s assigned your IP address, then your IP address will be visible to anyone who looks at the edit history of the article. Please note that some Wikipedias disallow editing of articles in the Main namespace if you are not logged in. If you make edits regularly, we really encourage you to create an account.

Wie erfahre ich mehr über das Bearbeiten?

• Read about the Five Pillars of Editing to become familiar with the fundamental principles of contributing on Wikipedia.
• Take introductory Tutorials
• Learn the basics of Wikitext markup. The App's native editor helps you format your text in Wikitext. Becoming familiar with Wikitext will help you read the page after selecting "Edit" or "Edit source."

Wie fange ich mit dem Bearbeiten in der iOS-App an?

• Be Bold, and fix an error or add information while you are reading articles. Do not be discouraged if your edit is reverted.
• Check out community-built lists of articles for improvement to find articles in need of editing.

Die Bearbeiten-Schaltflächen in der iOS-Artikelansicht:

• 
  Edit article description or introduction section
• 
  Edit section
• 
  Edit source (full-page editing)

Text innerhalb eines Artikels formatieren

Once you open an article for editing, there will be a toolbar above your keyboard to help you format text in Wikitext markup. You can click "Next" to see a preview of how your changes will look in the article before publishing.

• 
  From left to right: Text Formatting, add reference, add link, add template, add image, find and replace within article
• 
  From left to right: Bulleted list, numbered list, decrease indentation, increase indentation, move up, move down, move left, move right

= Wie kann ich in einer „Sandbox“-ähnlichen Umgebung in der iOS-App bearbeiten?

• Create your your user page, and then your user talk page
• Open an article you're interested in editing. Select "Edit" and select a portion of wikitext and copy it.
• Open your user talk page (Profile>Talk page), and create a discussion. Name it "Sandbox" and put some text into the field.
• Select Edit source from the menu in top-right corner. Paste the paragraph of text from the article, and make test edits to it.
• Edit the Wikitext freely, preview your edits, and publish! They will be published to your Talk page. Your talk page is public, but within the User: namespace of Wikipedia.

Kann ich Bilder hochladen?

No. At this time we do not support direct upload of images or media to Wikipedia or Commons. We hope to add this capability in the near future.

Until then, you can contribute media from your device by going to the Wikipedia website via your browser, and using the normal upload option, or using Commons Upload Wizard.

Wie kann ich einem Artikel ein Bild hinzufügen?

You can add an image to an article, if that image is already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Edit the article, place your cursor where you would like to insert the photo, and choose the image icon from the editing toolbar. This will launch the "Insert media" step, where you can add one of the images or search for something else. Then add a caption and alternative text in the next step, and choose "Insert" to add the image wikitext into the article.

If you are an experienced editor, we suggest you try the Suggested Edit: Add an image, which allows you to easily add images to articles that need them.

Kann ich den Verlauf und die Diskussionsseiten einer Seite anzeigen?

Yes, the app does support viewing full history and talk pages. You can access the Article talk page or Article revision history from the right-hand-corner menu , or from the footer of any article.

Ich werde vom Anmelden oder Bearbeiten blockiert, was soll ich tun?

The Wikimedia Foundation does not create or curate the contents on Wikipedia or the other sites; instead, this work is done by a vast community of volunteers.

For information about blocks and appealing a block on English Wikipedia, please see the information page at w:Help:I have been blocked.

There is no central authority over Wikipedia. The Wikimedia movement is based in part on the premise that good articles are achievable through the checks and balances editors provide for each other. When editors disagree on how to achieve these goals, they must resolve disputes through consensus, drawing on the wider community where necessary. You can read more about the dispute resolution processes on English Wikipedia at w:Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.

Kann ich einen Artikel aus der App erstellen?

No, you will need to use the Wikipedia website via your browser to create a new article.

Diskussionsseiten

Was sind Artikel- und Benutzerdiskussionsseiten?

Article talk pages - Each article on Wikipedia has an article talk page, which are also known as a discussion page. Talk pages are where people discuss how to make content on Wikipedia the best that it can be. Editors can discuss improvements to articles or other Wikipedia pages.

User talk pages - Each editor on Wikipedia who has created an account has a user page as well as a user talk page. Other editors can use talk pages to contact you and you can contact other editors via their user talk pages.

More information about talk pages can be found at Help:Talk pages

Wann starte ich ein neues Thema und einen neuen Thread?

Start a new topic to discuss a topic that is not already covered on the article or user talk page.

Choose the icon on the bottom right of the tab bar to create a new topic.

Kann ich die Diskussionsseite über die App mit dem Quelltext-Editor bearbeiten?

Yes, to edit the talk page using source editor, open the overflow menu in the top right corner of the talk page. Choose "Edit source" for full-page editing.

Two screenshots. On the left, the talk page for Pluto with the top-left overflow menu highlighted. On the right, the menu is open and the option for "Edit source" is highlighted.

Wie lösche ich einen Kommentar?

Delete a comment or topic by:

• From the talk page, open the overflow menu in the top right corner (Three dots), and choose "Edit source"
• Delete your comment/topic by editing the source code of the page.

Was passiert, wenn ich ein Thema abonniere?

Topic subscription was implemented to allow editors to get timely notifications when new comments are added to topics that they are interested in or have contributed to.

Subscribing to a topic is only possible when logged into a Wikipedia account.

Two screenshots, on the left is the talk page for Pluto with the "Subscribe" option highlighted. On the right we the same page with a confirmation message "You have been subscribed".

Kann ich die Kommentare filtern?

This first version of talk pages will not support filtering or sorting options, but the page supports ‘Find in page’, which allows you to search for specific words or phrases within the talk page.

Benachrichtigungen

Kann ich Push-Benachrichtigungen für meine Bearbeitungswarnungen erhalten?

The app supports push notifications for all Echo notifications, including alerts and notifications, from Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Commons. They are turned off by default. To turn on Push Notifications, within the App go to Settings>Push Notifications. Display of notifications (style, sound, placement) can be further configured in your device's Settings>Notifications>Wikipedia.

Warum werden einige meiner alten „gelesenen" Nachrichten nicht in der Benachrichtigungszentrale der App angezeigt?

Messages from languages you have not added to the app languages will only be available from the day you install the app on. To see all old messages for a specific language Wikipedia add that language to your app Languages.

Messages in a language you have not added to the app are only available once you add that language. To review all of your unread messages for a particular Wikipedia, go to Settings and add that Wikipedia’s language.

Wo sind die Benachrichtigungs- und Mitteilungsreiter?

The app shows all Echo notifications in a single notification center. The different types of messages, such as alerts and notifications, appear in a single notification center and are indicated by icon and color. Filters are available in the bottom menu so that you can mute or remove notification types you don’t want to see.

Kann ich auswählen, von welchen Projekten ich Benachrichtigungen erhalte?

After you log in and the notifications sync, the unread messages from any Wikipedias with which you have an account will appear in your inbox, as well as those from Commons and Wikidata.

Other projects’ messages are not yet supported. To review all read and unread notifications from a specific Wikipedia, go to Settings and add that Wikipedia’s language.

To limit which languages/projects you see in your inbox, tap the Filters icon and toggle the projects you would like to remove from your inbox.

Ich erhalte nicht alle meine Nachrichten als Push-Benachrichtigungen auf meinem Sperrbildschirm, obwohl ich die Berechtigungen erteilt habe. Warum?

iOS and iPadOS use several preferences to decide which messages to show on the lock screen. In addition to the basic permission to send push notifications, you may also need to allow Wikipedia to send notifications in any Focus modes you’re using. Finally, Low Power mode may add additional limits on how promptly or prominently notifications are displayed.

Wie erhalte ich Benachrichtigungen von anderen Wikimedia-Projekten?

At this time, we only support Wikipedias, Commons and Wikidata.

Wie stelle ich ein, dass Benachrichtigungsziele wie Benutzer:Diskussion in der Weboberfläche geöffnet werden?

Tapping a notification in the notification center will open a detail view, which includes information about all the relevant click through destinations, and whether they will open in the web UI or the app UI. Not all destinations are supported in the app, so some are only available on the web. Where both are available, when opening the the app version, tap the Share button and select “Open in Safari” to switch to the browser page.

Warum erhalte ich Benachrichtigungen für ein Projekt, das ich nie bearbeitet habe?

As a logged in user on the website, when you visit a new language edition a welcome message is generated. Usually no additional messages will be generated if you don’t go on to edit in that language.

Kann ich wichtige Benachrichtigungen für Push priorisieren und nicht alle erhalten?

Yes, you can decide which types of notifications you would like to keep. From the Notification center, open the filter in the bottom left corner, and toggle off notification types you would not like to see.

Die Anzahl der gelesenen/gesehenen Benachrichtigungen im Web und in der Benachrichtigungszentrale oder im Badge der App stimmen nicht überein

The app badge and message counts are based on the messages received on the device. Read status and message availability can be effected by a number of factors, and small discrepancies should resolve.

Beobachtungsliste

Wo finde ich meine Beobachtungsliste?

Open your watchlist from Profile>Watchlist.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Beobachtungslisten und Leselisten?

A watchlist is a set of pages that you can select to monitor for changes and updates. Watchlists are available to all logged-in users, and can be accessed across platforms where you are logged in. Saving an item to your watchlist does not save it for offline.

A reading list is a set of pages that you select to save and read later. Saving an item to your reading list saves it to your device for offline. Reading lists are accessible while logged-out but are only currently available in the official Wikipedia apps.

Können andere Personen meine Beobachtungsliste sehen?

Your watchlist is not available to other users except when included in aggregation, such as the unwatched pages report available to privileged users. Users are considered free to keep their watchlists private, or to share them with others to assist in monitoring for vandalism or undesirable changes on specific pages, for example.

Wie kann ich meine Beobachtungsliste bearbeiten?

You can add an article to your watchlist by opening the bottom left menu and choosing "Watch". You will then be prompted with different options for how long you would like to watch the article for (Permanent, 1 week, 1 month, and so on).

To unwatch an article, simply choose "Unwatch" from the same menu.

The standard watchlist editor is also accessible at Special:Watchlist/edit. You can type Special:Watchlist/edit in search within the app and you will be brought to MobileWeb where you can select a list of watched titles. Users can then select titles to be removed from the watchlist, and upon confirming the operation, your watchlist will be updated.

Wie kann ich eine Seite vorübergehend beobachten?

1. Select Watch in the article toolbar
2. Select how long you would like to watch your chosen article

Visit Help:Watchlist expiry for additional details about Watchlist Expiry
