Description Jason Spiro 2013-02-10 19:36:40 UTC 
[[Usage share of web browsers#Desktop and mobile browser usage]] cites StatCounter saying that mobile browsing makes up 14% of total web browser usage.

Please include the extension [[mw:MobileFrontend]] as part of the MediaWiki tarball you distribute at http://www.mediawiki.org: it makes MediaWiki work well on mobile devices. Also please include [[mw:Extension:OpenSearchXml]], in order for searching in the mobile view to work properly.

I believe we should just make core MediaWiki work better on smaller skins. I've started working on this at bug 44386 recently.

Until core MediaWiki does work better on smaller screens, it's worthwhile to bundle MobileFrontend.
Comment 3 Jason Spiro 2013-02-10 19:57:01 UTC 
At least one wiki administrator out there wasn't able to find MobileFrontend when he looked for a mobile skin.  He wrote[1] a few days ago that he went looking for a MediaWiki mobile skin, but that it seemed like the one Wikipedia used was either unavailable or was difficult to implement.

Feb 2012, actually a year ago (doesn't make your points less valid though).
