When I search the internet on my ipad mini 4, if a wikipedia link appears on my ipad mini it doesn't work and I can't access Wikipedia. It used to work with no issues but the past few days when clicking on it it doesn't react at all. Currently I can't access any wikipedia pages from my ipad. Has anyone else had any issues?
iPad mini 4, iPadOS 14

Some website pages don’t behave well when Safari is used in one or other of its browsing modes. Safari has two modes - these being Desktop and Mobile.
It’s easy to switch between modes if a website isn’t functioning correctly. From the desired web-page, touch the aA icon at the left of the Address Bar; this will reveal a menu. From the menu select Website Settings, then select (or deselect) Request Desktop Website, then tap Done. Now refresh the webpage.
The chosen setting will be saved for the selected website - and can be simply reversed if needed.
Changing the DNS provider settings on your WiFi Router - and/or your iPad - may also resolve the problem.
For recommended DNS servers (configured at your home router and/or your iPad), you might choose one of the following Recursive DNS Providers (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses included below). If your home network or broadband provider are “dual stack, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 network connections (most now do), you should configure both:
Quad9

149.112.112.112
2620:fe::fe
2620:fe::9
OpenDNS

208.67.220.220

Cloudflare+APNIC

1.0.0.1

My last attempts:
what Wikipedia languages are you trying to open? (it might be a temporary glitch on their servers)
have you tried to contact Wikipedia support team and ask them?
do you have restrictions enabled in your ScreenTime?
If the issue persists, I have no further ideas, sorry.

What happens if you use a different browser (i.e. Firefox or Chrome)?
Thanks for your reply, I did that twice and it didn’t work. I have spoken to apple and have reset the network settings and they are now suggesting I reset to factory which I am reluctant to do.
I have tried that as well, it still doesn’t work. It is really weird, it was working fine up until a couple of days ago.
Thank you for trying, I really appreciate it.
You are most welcome.
I have just tried this but it still doesn't solve the problem, although I have learnt something new. Thank you for your suggestion, it is appreciated.
I will need to get my head around how do this but thank you for the suggestion.
Wikipedia access on ipad mini.
