When opening a diff link on mobile (such as one from a watchlist email), the desktop view is used. For diffs between adjacent revisions at least (until MobileDiff can handle multipe-edit-diffs), diff links should redirect to the mobile view. This would make my mobile workflow 10x better. I want to be able go from a watchlist email straight to the mobile diff view (and then thank people for good edits, yay!).

Change 148613 had a related patch set uploaded by Florianschmidtwelzow: Redirect to mobile diff page https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/148613
Seems to be fixed now. If there are still any discrepancies, let me know.
Opps, wrong bug :P
Change 148613 merged by jenkins-bot: Redirect to mobile diff page https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/148613
Apparently, there were two separate issues with this bug: 1. We weren't trying to redirect regular diffs to the MobileDiff view (this is fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/148613) 2. Non-canonical URLs do not get redirected to mobile by Varnish on purpose (so as not to cause problems with certain API calls, etc.) This is bug 70312. Bug 70312 is a WONTFIX, so what we actually need to do now is reduce the number of interfaces that create non-canonical diff links in MediaWiki, especially when those links are likely to be used on a mobile device. Sage: Do you remember where the link you were trying to follow came from? Echo maybe?
