Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Search something in Spotlight, so that you get a result for a Wikipedia entry:

*Tap the result and then tap these links (in my case I searched for “ydinvoimala’ which is ‘nuclear power plant’):
*If it’s a link to Finnish Wikipedia, this will happen.
*If it’s a link to English Wikipedia, the link works as expected, and open in the app.

What happens?:
An error message appears.

What should have happened instead?:
Open the article to read normally.

I have not been able to reproduce this one in Finnish or Russian. I am curious about how they use Spotlight when watching the video and looking at the screenshots. They seem to be tapping Siri knowledge after a spotlight search, which opens a Siri screen containing the Wikipedia icon. When I tap the Wikipedia icon, it works for me. However, I'm not sure that I am following their steps exactly. I suggest they update the App and iOS device to the latest. If this is still happening, please add a a screenshot or video from the beginning of the spotlight search to get a clearer sense of what led to the issue.

3 users were contacted, one report was from a Finish Wiki user and the other two were from the Rusian Wiki users. once they reply the ticket will be updated.
