Description Arthur Richards 2012-03-12 21:14:58 UTC 
It would be great if the MobileFrontned view could be accessed based off something identifying in the URL path. For instance, http://mywiki.com/wiki/SomeArticle could be accessible via http://mywiki.com/wiki/mobile/SomeArticle. Some of the logic already exists in MobileFrontend for dynamically building URLs with a special mobile path token, however in order for the behavior to work, we would likely need to make some core changes to be able to intercept the page request and display it in mobile format.
Comment 1 Liangent 2012-03-13 03:13:08 UTC 
There can be a conflict between [[SomeArticle]] in mobile view and [[mobile/SomeArticle]] in normal view.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2012-10-10 20:35:05 UTC 
I would prefer to deprecate the use of separate URLs for the mobile version of the page; it creates some impedence mismatch when doing things like sharing URLs --- now you're exporting details about your device and forcing other people to look at the wrong version of the page.

Inclined to give this a WONTFIX, especially now that we have very easy links to switch between desktop and mobile view.
Comment 3 Arthur Richards 2012-10-10 20:50:04 UTC 
I think that's legit. Updated to WONTFIX.
