Description Patrick Hayes 2012-03-09 22:02:19 UTC

I don't know what the solution to this is, but I found it confusing.

1. Open a page in Wiktionary.
2. Open the menu, and select "Share Page"
3. There will be an option to share to Wiktionary. Click it.
4. It takes you to an error page!

I think this is due to a combination of two features - Dale's sharing from external apps to Wiktionary, which takes a word and opens it in Wiktionary, and the "Share Page" link, which gives a URL to be shared in another app. However, I think this gives a confusing experience for users.

Is it possible to disable sharing to Wiktionary from within Wiktionary?

Dale is now working on a solution to this.
