Intention: Visiting upload page on mobile Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in 2. go to https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload 3. Click Actual Results: Link takes you to https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin Expected Results: Link should take you to https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin Reproducible: Always Work around is simply to use the menu but it's still counter intuitive compared to the obvious "Log in" link.
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1774
I'm not sure what you mean by your steps Do you mean...? 1) Go to the mobile site of Special:Upload on https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload 2) Where it says "You must be logged in to upload files." click the login link. Actual: You are now on the desktop page of the login form Expected: You should be on the mobile page of the login form If so this is actually not a bug in MobileFrontend. Note that this works fine on http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload so I suspect this may even be a issue on the wiki itself since the message that appears is different. On commons the link is an external one rather than a local link, this looks broken. This is either * a bug in core * Some other extension live on Commons * A configuration issue on Commons
The text comes from [[commons:MediaWiki:Uploadnologintext]] which has been customized (normally the upload link would be a parameter - see https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=qqx which works as expected). So the root issue is that {{fullurl}} does not respect the current domain. (Although I'm not sure why they even use it when $1 gives the same link but also keeps any query parameters. Might be a legacy thing.) Test case: https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Tgr_(WMF)/test/fullurl Putting back tentatively to MobileFrontend although in the end it might be some sort of site config issue; I'm not familiar with how the mobile domains are set up.

Asked for a local fix on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Uploadnologintext#Use_.241_for_link Seems like the message is in a similar or worse shape on other wikis as well; not sure what would be the right place to raise awareness of that (translators-l?)
