Mobile Watchlist: Clicking “Label” redirects to diff instead of “Manage labels”
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

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

  • Open Wikipedia on a mobile device (or use mobile mode via dev tools).
  • Navigate to Special:Watchlist.
  • Locate a watchlist entry that has the “Label” link.
  • Tap on the “Label” link for that entry.

What happens?:

  • Tapping “Label” redirects the user to a diff page for the watched item.
  • The behavior differs from desktop, where label management is accessible.

What should have happened instead?:

  • Tapping “Label” on mobile should open the “Manage labels” interface, consistent with desktop behavior.
  • Mobile users should be able to view, add, or modify watchlist labels without being redirected to a diff page.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Event Timeline

On mobile in non advanced mode only the diff link is supported in rows. This was originally due to touch size.

The username is also a link (to the user page), but only for new page creations (where there's no diff link).

When there is a diff link, the user link doesn't work.

Are there other cases where there's no diff link?
