Description

This about box needs more WikiLove

On Wikipedia's Metro-style Windows Store and or Runtime app, the About panel under the Settings charm does not contain anything you would usually expect from an About box except for a link to the privacy policy and what appears to be a broken image.

If anything, the box should list the app's version number, a licensing disclaimer, and maybe a link to a portal or some other page about the open source project.

Like say:

((this line alludes to the "anyone can edit" tagline, and would link to a sort of development portal))

Unofficial Windows 8 & Firefox OS apps are not currently being worked on; switching old Bugzilla assignment back to none and subscribing myself instead. Volunteers welcome, and I'll be happy to help!

The Windows 8 Wikipedia application has been unmaintained and unused for years. Declining this task to reflect reality - see T259930 for more information.
