Hi everyone,
We’re excited to share a new prototype that brings statement editing on
Items to mobile.
You have been asking for the ability to edit statements on Items via mobile
devices. Until now, this hasn’t been possible in the mobile view, requiring
editors to switch to desktop mode to make edits, resulting in a clunky and
frustrating experience.
This prototype is designed to show how we are trying to make contributing
to Wikidata easier and more accessible for editors using mobile devices. It
has been updated based on a first round of user testing we conducted
earlier in April. Now we’d like to get more feedback from you before we
move forward.
*What we’d like from you*
Watch the video demo of the prototype here

and tell us what you think! You can share your feedback on the project

Here are a few questions to help you get thinking about your feedback:
- What did you like most about the solution?
- How well did it perform compared to your expectations?
- Were there any parts of the prototype that were confusing or unclear?
- Is there anything about the solution that could be problematic or
risky?
- If you could change one thing about the solution, what would it be?
- Any other comments or suggestions?
Your feedback will help us refine the design and guide the next steps of
development.
