open preview on touchscreen about wike HOT 5 CLOSED

From a technical point of view it would be complicated since popups are not a feature of the application, but of the Wikipedia website itself.

But, above all, it doesn't seem like a good idea to me. This is not the behavior a user expects when clicking a link.

I know. I'd try to implement it anyway, if you'd accept it.

It is exactly what I expected from Wike when I first used it with a touchscreen. (Not sure why, because I could have known better.) It is what the Wikipedia Android app does, after all – it opens a popup (more like a flap style view from below, but serves the same purpose) and that has a “read more” button.

As I am used to the Android app, this is how I expect a link to behave. The mobile web version does not have this feature.

Would you accept it, if it was optional?

Thanks for the proposal @camelCaseNick

However, one of my priorities is to keep the application as simple as possible and that happens by not loading it with options that I consider unnecessary. In this case it is a feature that frankly I do not like and I prefer not to include it.

I'm sorry.
