WikiMobileLinkBot

Hello,

If you opted-out of the bot in the past few days, it’s possible it may reply to you again. An update overwrote the opted-out user information with an older copy. Please just opt out again and you should be all set.

I’ve updated my update process so that this doesn’t happen again.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

What is this bot?

u/WikiMobileLinkBot was created to provide non-mobile links to wikipedia. Redditors visiting from a computer are often taken to the mobile version of wikipedia, which is less than ideal to view on anything but a mobile device. Whenever the bot finds a link to the mobile version of Wikipedia (the English version), it replies with a link to the non-mobile site of the article.

Why just English Wikipedia?

The bot is new, and is being actively developed. Expect links to other languages soon.

I downvoted a comment from the bot. Why isn’t it deleting the comment?

The bot only deletes comments when the comment reaches a certain downvote threshold.

Why isn’t t

An update last night caused an unexpected issue with the way the bot handles links. The bot is currently shut down until the this evening when I can fix the issue.

I apologize for any inconvenience.
