Hi Discovery,
Just an FYI that the wikidata team is doing something that touches mobile
search on wikidata. The paragraph below from Lydia is the relevant one:

Oh and the relevant ticket for getting Wikidata to work nicely on
mobile is: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78430 I think once the
search and the table of content are fixed I think we're done there and
I'll have Bene work on other things again. I don't plan to tackle
editing further at the moment.


Cheers
Lydia
