Background
Initially, the Editing Team is centering the needs of newcomers and Juniors Contributors from Sub-Saharan Africa in the work we are doing on Edit Check.
Over 25% of the edits volunteers from Sub-Saharan make to Wikipedia projects are made on mobile devices. [i]
The above, combined with the facts that ~1 in 20 edits happen on mobile [ii] despite ~2 out of every 3 page views happen on mobile [iii], demonstrate the need for us to prioritize mobile in all new feature development.
