Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Mobile and apps/Turn off mobile talk view
Turn off mobile talk view
- Problem: At some point in I believe 2019, there was a special mobile web talk page view added, on by default on every talk page. I really do not like how this works, but I have to switch to normal view on every page.
- Who would benefit: I'm sure a lot of people would like the old view. There are really annoying bugs only present in the "fancy" view like
Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T241402 that make talk pages harder to use, and it's generally not a good feature.
- Proposed solution: Option in settings to keep this view off when talk pages load.

Discussion
I also suggested previously that page would be more useful if it displayed some indication of how recent &/or big each thread is, then you could decide whether to tap into an individual topic, or view them all together. I think one of the dev's has kindly made a phab ticket for that. However, for those who want to always go to the "read as wiki page" view, a preference toggle would be handy. There's hardly anything on the mobile pref's page, so shouldn't be any problem with settings overload there. Pelagic (talk) 12:02, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Support Yeah. It does have some issues (at least for me) now. It would be nice to have an option to turn it off until its stable. Kaartic [talk] 18:36, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
