Actually there is no need to use mp- or any other type of prefix. Simply
omit any of them to turn off main page special casing. It is totally
optional.

Another trick - you can turn off main page special casing by adding
useskin=Minerva to the url of the desktop site. A great way to prepare your
main page for mobile without breaking anything.

For most main pages the most useful thing you can do towards this is kill
your use of tables.

Personally I think the mobile main page should not hide any content. Hiding
content is a hack and lazy.

Happy to help with any efforts to making main pages more user friendly. in
past I have attempted but no one has seemed to care and taken any advice
I've given them. :/
