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 fourthree methods are listed here, 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 two a [[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.

http://wap.fluffypeople.com/wiki provides a search box into which a query may be entered. An intelligent translation of the article pages is provided. It breaks the articles into smaller chunks, which may be better suited to certain devices. It has been written using [[Perl]] to translate Wikipedia pages to [[Wireless Markup Language|WML]] as reliably as possible. Access is logged by IP address. The <tt><nowiki>http://wp.alf.nu</nowiki></tt> interface merely provides a shorter URL for the first interface, bypassing the form.
