> Wikipedia cannot determine your location. Please try again with a better signal.

I'm on a desktop. Plugged into wired internet. My "signal" is fine.

Maybe because op did post the mobile link, try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby instead
The same problem occurs: "Wikipedia cannot determine your location. Please try again with a better signal."

EDIT: Same thing occurs in both Firefox and Chromium

oh, come on ...

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby#/coord/[lat],[lon]

EDIT: Doesn't seem to work, the pages ignores what I put there and doesn't change behaviour.

Yep, seeing the same thing.
