Please post non-mobile links to wikipedia when you can [0]

Wikipedia should auto redirect to non mobile site when you're not on mobile. Requiring people to follow unwritten rules is annoying.

Why is Wikipedia not doing this?

Separating presentation by subdomain feels like a relic from the 2000s or earlier. Wikipedia is one site that could do to be modernised with dynamic formatting or whatever it's called. Even BBC moved news.bbc.co.uk to bbc.co.uk/news although that is not quite the same thing.

Serious question, why?

If you're on a phone, does the non-mobile link redirect to mobile?

The formatting on the mobile site looked just fine to me on a laptop. I'm sure there's a good reason I'm missing.

> Serious question, why?

IIRC, mobile Wikipedia has a bigger font, is less information dense, and the navigation doesn't work as well.

Pretty sure they do, but the reverse isn't true.

If I'm reading that right, that's only C3 plants. C4 plants would keep going until 800–900 million years. And who knows if something else doesn't evolve or is engineered for the different conditions.

Thanks for the link, these really long term timelines always trigger a perspective shift for me.
