Wikipedia experts: in the Android app, articles have subtitles. The one for “Personal wiki” has been vandalised. I can see from the edit history that the article body had similar vandalism, quickly reverted.

1. I can edit this "article description" in the app. How can I do this on the web?
2. Is there edit history for this subtitle/description?

Bot idea: generate patterns for this play mat. Bonus points for:
- putting toys over it
- feeding it through some image recogniser to see if the pattern resembles anything

Niche bot idea: animations in the style of Dasher, but only with English words that can be typed with alternating hands on a Dvorak keyboard.

For the curious, I've attached a screenshot of the distribution of the lengths of such words, with one example at each length.
