--- Comment #13 from Jon <[email protected]> ---
Is this ever realistically going to get fixed? I hear that most wiki projects
are moving to DIV based layouts and with good use of the nomobile class there
is really no excuse for not being able to optimise the main pages without us
doing anything.

Is it time to be more brutal and deprecate this main page special casing?

I could imagine the following approach:
* Add a JavaScript warning on mobile pages that are special cased saying that
"This page has been special cased. We are deprecating this functionality. If
you are seeing this warning, you need to act now"
* Identify all special cased main pages and throw a message on the main talk
page telling them to act now with a link to how to make a good mobile optimised
page.


Now we have useskin=minerva there is no reason why editors cannot easily fix
their main page. See https://en.wikipedia.org/?useskin=minerva

If we don't want to take this approach I suggest we WONTFIX this bug as this is
not realistically going to happen without a brute force approach.
