So, on android this happens.

Back from where? On what exact platform using
what exact browser.

I'm pretty sure that using the backbutton doesn't *always* stick
you in an infinite loop.

I'm happy to help here, but I need some kind of detail to track
down the issue.

Also, "An ace way to put people off using wiki.", please don't use
negative language in here like that. Obviously it was not designed
to behave that way and obviously we will fix it.

Please leave negative taunts for other places.

Mobile wiki back button stuck in loop to own page. Very selfish and very
annoying. An ace way to put people off using wiki.

Is this what's happening?

• Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/
• Get redirected to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
• Hit "back" and go to http://en.wikipedia.org/
• The page automatically redirects you to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ again

There is a disable button on the home page.

I'm not really sure how we could tell the JS on the wikipedia mainpage to not
redirect a back button hit... but I'm open for suggestions.

That's not really an infinite loop.

Since there is a disable button and we have yet to have people complain
about this repeatedly and there is no clear technological way to fix this
(that I can think of or that has been put forward), I'm going to mark this
as WORKSFORME
