The app has offline capabilities and to save articles on a named list. I use it as a reference when forgetting something or to save the list type article as a starting point when researching a software to use. Or just generally a reading material when on the go (yes, I find reading wikipedia articles entertaining)
Better reading experience overall. Compartmentalizing all my Wikipedia reading so as not to mix it with my other many open tabs. (Wikipedia app has tabs, too.) Sections are not collapsed by default. Easier to search on the page by default than in the browser.
I can probably go on it I made a more in-depth comparison after using the web version for a bit…
I would assume, and hope, it works really well for such usage. I only tend to end up on Wikipedia a couple of times a week, and 95% of that is on my desktop to have a quick look at something I won’t be getting back to ever again.
People not having the Wikipedia app baffles me. Sharing from there gives you reasonable links.
Why use an app when there’s a web site? In case of Wikipedia I fail to see any functional benefit for an app.

Ok, offline functionality does make sense

There’s a Wikipedia app? I find that baffling.
Try it. It’s great.
How much time do you spend on Wikipedia?
My man, I think I have over a hundred tabs and saved wikipedia articles alone that I always refer to when needed. The app works great for me

Then the app is not for you. 😊
Time? Pff, no clue. But I look things up all the time and don’t have time to finish articles the first time round, ever (two kids under six).
So it’s great to have and get back to articles.
Yes that works, and you can also use something like URLCheck and just drop that path
What is that, an extension?
Yes it is https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker/
