Problem: I get “404 not found” from a link. But only in this app. Reproduced: 1. Open the Wikipedia Beta app for iOS. 2. Find the Norwegian article named: “Et sted å høre til” 3. Scroll down to “Eksterne lenker” 4. Click on the IMDB link. Highlight in the screenshot. 5. You are redirected to the following site that is pulled from Wikidata: https://wikidata-externalid-url.toolforge.org/%3Fp=345&url_prefix=https://www.imdb.com/&id=tt2258904 6. Page show “404 not found” This is not a problem with the desktop version or mobile web version. The link is btw provided from Wikidata item of the page.
