Mobile wiki back button stuck in loop to own page. Very selfish and very annoying. An ace way to put people off using wiki.

So, on android this happens. Back from where? On what exact platform using what exact browser. I'm pretty sure that using the backbutton doesn't *always* stick you in an infinite loop. I'm happy to help here, but I need some kind of detail to track down the issue.
Also, "An ace way to put people off using wiki.", please don't use negative language in here like that. Obviously it was not designed to behave that way and obviously we will fix it. Please leave negative taunts for other places.

Is this what's happening? * Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/ * Get redirected to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ * Hit "back" and go to http://en.wikipedia.org/ * The page automatically redirects you to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ again
There is a disable button on the home page. I'm not really sure how we could tell the JS on the wikipedia mainpage to not redirect a back button hit... but I'm open for suggestions. That's not really an infinite loop.
Since there is a disable button and we have yet to have people complain about this repeatedly and there is no clear technological way to fix this (that I can think of or that has been put forward), I'm going to mark this as WORKSFORME
