As a logged in user, I want the ability to easily view categories for articles
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Declined | None | T124865 Support any default type of pages in the app | |||
| Open | None | T158181 Aim for workflow equivalence for MediaWiki on desktop and mobile web | |||
| Resolved | Goal | ovasileva | T198313 [GOAL] Advanced mobile contributions | ||
| Open | None | T24660 Display the categories on the mobile site for everyone | |||
| Open | None | T152199 Display categories for logged-in users on mobile web stable |
I am new to open source contributions, I want to start with this Can you give me the details how to proceed
Hi @Rammanojpotla this is not the best one to start with. We tag tasks with "Easy" or "Needs volunteer" if we think they suitable so please peruse through this list at your leisure.
Lots of issues with this feature as detailed in T24660. We'll want to fix these before turning this on in stable. It's not production ready.
Why only for logged in users? A lot of my friends that read but do not edit Wikipedia use categories to navigate related topics, there really isn't much use to making non-signed in mobile users complete second class citizens of Wikimedia websites (as is already the case), you don't need an account to view categories on desktop mode, this would probably be best if it were added to ALL mobile users' interface, would probably also require less maintenance.
No analysis needed here. We can already configure categories on for logged in users. The problem here is more what we want to turn on (T246049) which likely blocks this.
Next steps:
Currently, we will begin with T246049: Remove the category overlay feature and output html-categories and prioritize 2 at a later time due to other high-priority work
