So it takes you half a second to remove the “m”?
Comment on Apple told to pay back €13bn in tax by EU
Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 2 months agoPlease, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

And people using mobile can go stuff themselves? It doesn’t switch automatically either way.

It does for me. On mobile if Wikipedia notices you are using a mobile browser, it automatically redirects you to the m. URL.

While I agree this is inconvenient, this sounds like something on Wikipedia to address.
I think it’s going to be a losing battle to try to not only make everyone everywhere aware of the problem, let alone convince them to put in the (admittedly minimal) effort every time to deal with it.

I agree it would be best for Wikipedia to address this on their end, but I have actually no idea where to begin with asking them to make a change like this.

It actually does switch automatically on mobile, just not desktop, which is why I get annoyed enough when it happens to mention it.

Fixed & noted. Thanks!
