Talk:Wireless Application Protocol

message: This talk has been copied from Wireless Application Protocol
I intend to clean up WAP and WAP associated pages, but don't let that deter you from having a go.
Before starting I have revised the titles structure.  Because most of the WAP links in Wiki have WAP in the text but redirect to Wireless Application Protocol, WAP, is considered to be the handle that most people have on the subject, as in: I have a WAP phone not I have a Wireless Application Protocol phone. This discussion has a useful historical record on the subject so I have placed it verbatim in Talk:WAP to preserve it.  Ex nihil 03:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WAP Cleanup 

message: Isn't WAP 2.0 released and isn't it follows XHTML-MP ?
yes, wap 2.0 needs to be more clearly defined. - exactly how it differs from xhtml
:Yup. Wireless_Application_Protocol in general needs to be better defined in the Lede section. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section).  For example, how it differs from xhtml or "desktop Web pages", and why mobile devices prefer it, might go far to explain what it is.   
:The next section; specs, is too technical, might be better placed elsewhere?    
:In general over all, note that a list of facts or truisms is rarely a decent explanation or definition. Also it has too many lazy hypertexts: sentences that for lack of just a few words (as hints) REQUIRE slogging thru another article just to find this site's specific context before digestion can even begin (and many technical sites have the same problem, ad infinitum, causing an information black hole). Hypertext links should not be considered an easy solution to excessive jargon or difficult explanations. <BR> --68.127.90.135 (talk) 23:52, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  WAP 2.0 

message: A great deal of e-commerce goes over the wap gateway.  This article seems seems to be suggesting that WAP might be a failure, which is pretty silly this day and age. Mathiastck 20:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I love finding gems like this on WP talk pages. It seems absurd to consider WAP anything less than a failure in 2018. Stub Mandrel (talk) 13:53, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Commercial Success 

message: It appears that someone has rushed to semi-protect the page. Whats with the last sentence in this section Wireless_Application_Protocol#Wireless_Application_Environment_.28WAE.29?? It looks like someone has deleted part of the section but that edit doesn't appear among the most recent edits, guess it's gone unnoticed or something. 354d 03:18, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism? 

message: Just came here trying to find out about WAP Push SI (good) and SL (not even mentioned). So I go off into the cloud googling away and finding no really concrete references I can use. OK, thinks I, lets try some of the ones already on the article... Fat chance! The one used for SI is now dead, and several that point to OMA are password-protected (also not marked). Argggh!
I'll have another go tomorrow, but this certainly deserves a 'refimprove' banner...

thread_title:  Hopeless References! 

message: Web browsing is not mentioned in the leade section's list. please see: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section) .
It also appears WAP has no competitors? A quick reading did not shout that WAP is evolving with the times. Is it being dumped? Can new phones do realish HTML yet? The article has an old, abandoned feel. Why? Never mind! quoting article: "Most major companies and websites have since retired from the use of WAP...." --71.133.255.249 (talk) 00:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
