With some light testing, I'm not able to reproduce this behavior on our devices. Which version of the app are you using? (Are you sure you're using the latest?)

🤔 With some initial testing, I can't seem to reproduce this crash, no matter how unstable I make the network on my device, or in my emulator. We also don't see any similar crashes in our Google Play console. This might indicate something very specific about your device, or even the exact talk page you're navigating to. And unfortunately the stack trace doesn't point to anything specific, either, just a timeout error in no particular spot.

Closing as expected behavior.
This behaves the same way on mobile web:
English wikipedia has two different articles: "Final Fantasy XIV" and "Final Fantasy XIV (2010 video game)", whereas German wikipedia has a single article about both things: "Final Fantasy XIV". When reading the German article and changing the language to English, the destination becomes "Final Fantasy XIV (2010 video game)".
