@Dvorapa: Thanks for the bug report!


While the experience isn't broken, it's not the most performant: tapping a notification on en.m. the UA will navigate to en., Varnish will issue a 302 to en.m., and the UA will navigate to the specified location. That's two round trips to start reading a notification!

Trizek-WMF subscribed.

I've tested it:

  1. I'm browsing https://en.m.wikipedia.org (or any mobile version)
  2. I click on a notification on that website
  3. I'm redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Trizek_(WMF)

Links should redirect to mobile version.

Note MobileContext in MobileFrontend does provide a method getMobileUrl for obtaining the '.m' url. I don't see how to get round this except altering the logic of getFullUrl or Echo running this method on notifications before rendering.
