Line 2: Although [[Wikipedia]] does not provide official access for [[wireless]] devices such as [[mobile telephone]]s, four Wikipedia users have each provided a mechanism by which it is possible to gain quick access to text-only versions of articles using the [[Wireless Application Protocol]] (WAP). All ~~five~~four methods are listed here, ~~both~~ to provide a choice and so that access can continue if any one should become unavailable. Only one need be chosen, and the corresponding address, or [[Uniform_Resource_Locator\|URL]], would normally be entered as a [[bookmark]] in a wireless device (as opposed to being used with a PC). Please note that only for the first ~~three~~two noa [[search engine]] is available – for the last two the name of the starting article must either be known in advance or guessed correctly. Comments and suggestions regarding these interfaces should be added to the [[Wikipedia_talk:WAP_access\|discussion page]] for this article. ==en.wapedia.org==▼ [[image:wapedia_cat.png\|framed\|right\|screenshot of http://en.wapedia.org/Cat]]▼ Having started in August 2004, Wapedia brings the contents of Wikipedia to mobile devices like mobile phones and PDAs.
