Advanced mode

The advanced mode in the settings of the mobile view gives access to categories, also HotCat is supported. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 11:46, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Sjoerddebruin - @Plogeo - would this work for you? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 21:54, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Thank you very much! Plogeo (talk) 07:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

This is not a solution! Most users don't know about this and afaik this can only used when signed in. That may be a workaround that works for this particular user but hiding categories on mobile, which is probably how most users access Wikimedia sites by now, is unacceptable and unreasonable. It is disrespectful of the large amount of work volunteers have put into organizing files via categories and denies mobile users access to these very useful links, for example to find more media about a subject on Wikimedia Commons. This has been the most supported request in WMC's technical needs survey. Showing categories on mobile as well also outside the apps is urgent and could be done with relatively low effort (just don't hide/suppress these links in the mobile view).
