So I assume the default behavior, regardless if loading via mobile or desktop
frontend is to load the desktop frontend on commons? That would make sense as I
always delete all cookies when I exit the browser (usually using dolphin
browser with the long-press shutdown feature).

<rant>Also, trying to find that tiny "mobile view" link on a mobile phone is
like trying to read the serial number on the needle in the haystack!</rant>

Anyway, wouldn't you agree on the logic that when passing from one site to an
other, the same type of frontend is active, if no specific setting is set in a
cookie, instead of defaulting to a fixed default, that doesn't take into
account where you came from?

I'm reopening the bug as I assume it's currently true that if you are on a
mobile hone using desktop view and using a interwiki link, you will end up
auto-redirected to a mobile view on that sister site if thy have redirect
activated and no cookie is set for that site.
