Description

Article Autobacs Seven:
Yesterday I made a number of edits on this article, in Firefox on my Samsung Android Verizon S-6 smartphone (OS release Marshmallow). They are listed in the browser version of history, but Wikipedia Beta says "Last updated March 1":

@Thnidu I think it's just delayed slightly? Probably something to do with caching.

It now says "Last edited 23 hours ago" in the Android Beta App.
(and in the mobileweb with beta enabled, it says "Last edited 24 hours ago by AnomieBOT" (e.g. at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobacs_Seven ))

Hopefully someone from the reading team can confirm the specifics, of how long it takes for updates to appear in the page-footer, and document that in the FAQ. :-)

The WPβ display on my Android still doesn't show any changes since March 1, either in the History or on the article page, and unlike Firefox there's no way to refresh/reload the page, at least none that I can find. This is no longer a "slight" delay.

@Thnidu In the app, you can refresh the page by scrolling to the top and swiping down, until the "refresh" icon appears from the top. Can you try that, and see if the last-updated time changes?

@Dbrant Thanks, that did the trick. No surprise that the dating had caught up in the last two weeks, so I made some small copyedits and tried your suggestion. 👍

I hadn't realized, though, that by "refresh icon" you meant the spinning partial circle, meaning "refreshing page now", rather than the static partial circle with arrow (such as in Firefox), meaning "press here to refresh".

Dbrant claimed this task.

Excellent. In the near future we'll be reevaluating some of the navigation logic throughout the app, and we might consider making a more prominent "refresh" function.
