Just like Jdale at least half of the time I go to wikipedia on my iphone I get the 502 Bad Gateway error when it tries to access en.m.wikipedia.org. I also tried it in firefox once and got that error. On top of this I don’t even want the mobile version, but if I try to go to en.wikipedia.org and click on an article it automagically take me to the mobile version then the 502. If I’m somehow able to load the mobile version and try to click on permanently disable mobile version I get a 401 Not Found!

This is great.

For folks with devices that don’t automatically go to the mobile version (like my BlackBerry), you might want to include a ‘permanently enable mobile site’ link to go with the ‘permanently disable…’ link.

My BlackBerry Bold has a Wikipedia search built into the browser, so that would be a good way to force it to work right until RIM points it to the right place!

Brion,

We have partnered with http://open.Siruna.com an open source mobile transcoding product which could serve Wikimedia Mobile well in trying to accommodate these other devices. The license version would run through my company as Siruna is located in Belgium, but we would be more than happy to discuss the benefits of any device.

Kind regards,

John

Sounds great. Unfortunately, on the Palm Pre, when I click the Wikipedia link from universal search, I now get a “502 Bad Gateway” error instead of the Wikipedia page. Going directly to Wikipedia in the browser works fine.

I’ve been using this Wikipedia Launcher on my BlackBerry 8330 for quite some time. The source code is also provided, for those interested.

Also, while no one will deny that the default BlackBerry browser leaves a lot to be desired, I recommend using a browser called BOLT. It is a great browser for viewing full blown webpages (as well as mobile or WAP sites). I use the BOLT web browser to view the full wikipedia site all the time (among several other full-blown websites). It is availble for platforms other than BlackBerry as well..

Terence, that *is* the site we’re talking about. :)

Currently we don’t have full localization or home page data extraction set up for most languages, and while it _should_ work on any decent mobile browser, it hasn’t been fully tested on all, and we’re only doing automatic redirections for a few devices so far.

We’ll expand it as we work out the kinks.

It works on BlackBerry – and just about every other mobile I’ve tried it on. Why are you saying that it’s limited to those 4 minority devices?

How is this any different or better than the existing http://en.m.wikipedia.org ? That’s also not limited to EN and DE. Try http://es.m.wikipedia.org
