Issue with Wikipedia Navigation
asad31
Dear Developers,I've noticed a recurring issue with Wikipedia's navigation. Whenever I try to access a Wikipedia page through Google, the correct page does not load on the first attempt. Instead, the browser redirects to a previously visited page from my history. I would appreciate it if you could investigate and resolve this issue.Thank you for your attention to this.
Simply excellent

This review is about the app itself - I have to give praise to the developers and designers involved in its development. Excellent UX that presents a much evolved version of the browser experience with an easy to follow timeline based approach to the homescreen and very tightly integrated navigation. Pretty much everything you could ask for with regards to browsing the wiki is included: accessibility features, dark mode, lists, featured articles, top read, search, places and even a randomizer! And the UI is just icing on the cake. Very clean layout with great attention to details like the color gradient on the numbering and transitions between screens. If you’re a designer you can really tell the love and effort that went into such a polished app. As a designer myself I would place this to be one of my top apps and I certainly consider it a benchmark when it comes to good app design. I’m not sure if the devs ever read this, but bravo. 👏
Basic app that lacks a few key features.

These features would greatly improve the experience for me.1. Bring a functionality to read articles in several tabs.2.Sometimes I just want to have a look at another article that is linked to the article that I am reading. When I tap the link it takes me to that article itself. It would a nice to have it open in a miniwindow first, then another tap to go that page. At least put it as an optional setting. 3.Bring a visual editor to the app.So, absence of these features reduces the usefulness of the app. It makes me think that I would be better off going to the website.
An archive of past games is now available in "Which came first?", so you can go back and play any round you missed. Find it after completing your daily game. A bug was also addressed, where BC dates were displaying incorrectly within the game.
