Thanks for your quick reply!

Actually, I think the problem of "no way to opt back into mobile view" should
belong to another bug. 

My real question is, why we are using normal links for interlanguage links (and
merely interlanguage links) in mobile view, instead of hard .m. links, in the
first place.

I mean, even if they can jump correctly, there is no reason to waste time to do
so. People who is browsing mobile version, apparently want a mobile version in
another language as well.

The only two reasons I can think of with this implementation are:

1. People want keep desktop version on one language but mobile version on
another: Makes little sense since AFAIK the cookie for forcing desktop version
is global.

2. Tech restriction: Some language versions of wikipedia don't have mobile view
and .m. links would lead to HTTP 404 or similar (I don't think it's the case
though...)
