If you load http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=charlie+sava&title=Special%3ASearch within mobile Safari then you wont get redirected. If you load http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Curtis then you will get the mobile view. We should make special pages redirect as well.
It's because the redirector intentionally redirects only http://*.*.org/wiki/* URLs, apparently to prevent breakage of some stuff. This is easily fixable in redirector.c, however I don't know what decisions resulted in such code. Patrick?
Well the redirector doesn't really have anything to do with this. Are you saying if someone goes directly to Special:Search it doesn't redirect them?
Yes, the regex is "^http:\\/\\/(\\w+)\\.(wikipedia|wiktionary|wikinews|wikisource)\\.org[:\\d]*\\/wiki\\/(.*)"
Hopefully should be fixed with: https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/mobile/cards/194
What is the status of this Max? Is there a pull request fixing this?
It is easily fixable, but I need to understand why /wiki/ was a requirement initially.
Tomasz..?
I know of no reason why we have to keep it with /wiki
What is the current status of this?
Seems like to small of an edge case so closing.
