"Streisand Effect in effect," designer says after their legal response went viral.

    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’s a copy paste I try to have on hand because probably more than half the wikipedia links I see are mobile ones. The fact that you make the effort is very appreciated.

      It works just fine on my desktop. And yeah, posting sanitized urls is just good practice.

      Some day Wikipedia will learn how to use the “media” tag in CSS.
