    Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

      It takes just as little time to remove the .m. yourself, maybe even less.

      I myself do indeed remove the .m.s from my links out of politeness, but it is impolite to demand that others do this.

      Probably more users on mobile than PC and anyway it’s super easy to do what you’re asking with m+kb

        The reason I ask to remove the .m out of consideration for PC users is because it actually does correct itself on mobile. It’s not a symmetrically degraded experience, it’s only worse for PC users. And yes, it’s an easy fix with kbm, but respectfully, it should also be easy for the original poster to fix it themself.
