WikimediaFoundation has launched Nearby feature for mobile web that shows Wikipedia articles near your location that would let you explore the nearby places and view images. The photo upload features was launched for mobile web back in March. You can log in using your Wikipedia credentials to upload photos. Now you can also take part in improving details about your nearby location by adding an image to the article if it’s missing. You can notice the missing image with a camera icon next to the articles.
The experimental mode in the settings lets opt-in users access to experimental features when it’s available. The Wikipedia Nearby is available for all from the mobile web. You can test out the Wikipedia Nearby from your mobile phone’s browser by heading to m.wikipedia.org and selecting the Nearby option from left pane. This feature also works on desktops browsers too.
