No, I'm not sure what does mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop do for Flow.

I was referring to rendering of Flow on mobile websites, for example
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:CX or

Trying it on an actual phone gives the best effect.

Though there certainly are some issues (

phones than the classic talk pages.
