To: mobile-l <[email protected]>


I just received this mail from a user:

"...I upgraded to Mediawiki 1.20 on me dev machine, and things
seem to work fine.
However using MF for MW 1.20 has no auto-detect, so it's not very
useful to me :)

Is there any chance you fix this on the master version as well (which
has built it auto-detect)?"

It seems various other people are being confused with how mobile
detection works [1], myself included so I have setup this basic stub
of a page [2] to hopefully document this. Please share your knowledge
here!
