## Original proposal
In [[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Tasto_passaggio_versione_mobile/desktop | this discussion ]] on itwiki, several users expressed concerns about the positioning of the "desktop version" button in the mobile version. Right now it is located at the bottom of the page, which, according to these users, is hard to find and hard to reach (because you have to scroll down to the end of the page).
The proposal there is to place the button somewhere more visibile, e.g. in the sidebar. I think an option might be to move it under "Settings", i.e. similar to what the following code would do on-wiki:
```lang=js
mw.util.addPortletLink(
'pt-preferences',
mw.util.getUrl( mw.config.get( 'wgPageName' ), { mobileaction: 'toggle_view_desktop' } ),
'Desktop version',
''
);
```
The link at the end of the page could stay anyway.

In general, it is pretty hard to find: you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and click on a small last link in the series. I propose that, to improve discoverability for those who for any reason want to switch to the desktop website on their phones/tablets (last time I’ve done it because I was logged-out [and didn’t want to go through 2FA login] and needed to look at some ‘advanced’ links), it can be added to Minerva’s navigation drawer’s footer.
