Author: sean

Description:
The Main Page of at least the English Wikipedia mobile site is outdated when first loaded prior to logging in. For example, as of right now (just past midnight UTC on May 4), en.m.wikipedia.org (both on mobile and desktop) show "Mother India" as the featured article; after logging in, this changes to the correct "George Harrison."

I have also observed this problem, and even being logged-in. The versions of the first page contents are different between the mobile and desktop views.
