Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Note Special:History in beta on latest master replicates its functionality when you don't give it an article title. If this proves successful we could set up a redirect/replace it as we did for watchlist...

Kenan & Kaldari, I have removed the project from the wiki page just in case. Please clarify here the situation, although this Special:History page seems to be exactly what we were talking about.

Any other Mobile feature that would take *you* a couple of weeks to develop? Please reply via email or post directly in the wiki page. It's urgent... Thank you.

Special:Preferences might be a good one?

Only a note to say that we are not expecting any internship program from this report.

I'm moving this to design, but just to set expectations: we should fix RC Page on mobile so it's not a mess. In particular, it looks like the Namespace and Tag filters may have been impacted by our recent work. But it is NOT our plan at this time to make the New Filters for Edit Review work on mobile.

(Reasons: The job is not small, the page does not get much use on mobile, and our sense is that the workflow as now is not very suitable. If we thought it was important to have a good mobile RC Page experience, then we'd probably craft something special for that. But at this time it is not a priority.)

Recent Changes is optimized for mobile in Advanced Mobile Contributions mode. Isn't it? Why this task is still opened?

Yep. This task was about the original RecentChanges page (before RCFilters was created), but the new page has since been made to work on mobile fairly well.

There may still be room for improvement, but that's better tracked under more specific tasks.

Thanks!
