You can now apply the mobile skin to the desktop site [1]. Wahhhh?!
To cut a long story short, to help MobileFrontend and VisualEditor
integrate nicely with one another, we needed the mobile skin to be
registered as a valid skin. We've previously avoided this as we didn't
want to surface this in the Special:Preferences (a side effect of
doing so). Kaldari however found a way we can supress it there, so
thus we went and registered it [1].
I encourage editors to check how their stuff looks in the minerva skin
on a small window size. This should make mobile optimisation a lot
easier for you! :)
