Description

I've been having trouble with my iPad (Safari on iOS 7.1.1) not going over to the mobile site, even when I explicitly opt in to the mobile site. I'm logged in, and while this is a new iPad it's got old cookies from a restored backup of another device that I've used on Wikipedia before.

Will investigate the contents of cookies & localStorage via debugger before trying to clear everything...

Steps to reproduce:

Open Safari and go to https://www.wikipedia.org/ portal
Click "English"
see that I'm on the desktop site, logged in
Click "Mobile view" link to force back to mobile site
Manually go back to https://www.wikipedia.org/
Click "English" again
...see that I'm on the desktop site again, still logged in

Follow above procedure up to getting on English mobile site
Go to a random article
"Read in other languages", pick a language like Czech or Galician
find I'm back on the desktop site in that language

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
OS: other
Platform: Tablet PC
URL: https://www.wikipedia.org/

Looking in Safari's debugger, I've got an "enwikistopMobileRedirect" cookie globally on .wikipedia.org :

enwikistopMobileRedirect true .wikipedia.org / July 17, 2014 at 2:04:39 PM PDT 28 B ✓ ✓

It's marked HttpOnly and Secure, so doesn't show up in document.cookie to JS. The date is the expiration date.

Note I also have the forceHTTPS cookie:

forceHTTPS 1 .wikipedia.org / July 17, 2014 at 1:48:05 PM PDT 11 B ✓
