:Please forgive me for the English. I like reading Vicipaedia on my phone, but I find it very difficult to do serious editing from a phone. I use my computer for that. But perhaps that's just me :) [[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew Dalby]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby|disputatio]]) 08:22, 13 Iunii 2020 (UTC)
::(Dixsti te brittanicum esse, ergo, sicut Andreas, tibi anglice respondebo.) You can set up the Wikipedia interface to use any language you want -- go to "preferences." Here I use Latin, which is why I quoted you a Latin link title -- but of course if you're not using Latin you'll see whatever language you've chosen. And I agree with Andrew that for any kind of editing I want a proper keyboard. But my students seem to be perfectly comfortable with typing stuff on their phones, so I see it can be done. Another hint is that you can also switch between the mobile interface and the normal interface any time: I forget exactly how to do it because I haven't used Wikipedia on my tablet in a while, but there's a pretty obvious link. I like that because I'm more familiar with the normal interface, even though it's not all that graceful on a small screen. Now, go forth and edit cheerfully! Do note our peculiar customs, which aren't quite exactly the same as in English Wikipedia, but the software itself (how to format a page, how to link your page to others, how to put your page into Wikidata, and so on) is exactly the same so you only have to learn it once. Also we're generally friendlier than the denizens of some other sister projects. [[Usor:Amahoney|A. Mahoney]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Amahoney|disputatio]]) 20:21, 13 Iunii 2020 (UTC)
