Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Click a notification (username mention/ping alert) in the Wikipedia Android app (in the bell)
- Alternatively, click a push notification reporting the mention.
What happens?:
- The link only takes you to the top of the correct talk page, the correct post is not focused or highlighted.
What should have happened instead?:
- User should be taken to the highlighted talk page post where they are mentioned, not simply the page.
- Note: Personal userpage edits (different to mentions) work this way by highlighting the relevant edit in blue.
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Firefox Android 145.0.2, mobile phone.
Comments
- Given the move to the app targeting a read-only experience and the lack of DiscussionTools, getting the user to the correct place in the browser would be better than correcting the app's current behaviour.
- I can test this on a Village pump mention in my app's notifications. The notification's "View changes" in the the three dots shows the correct diff, and the comment is still on the Village pump page, but clicking the "View mention" only takes me to the top of the Village pump page - not the mention which is located far below.
