I'm the main opposition of a mobile only class. I've been opposing many requests for it as I believe it isn't sustainable, it basically means you maintain 2 copies of a page and also as a result you increase the page load for mobile users by including desktop only content in the HTML markup. I'm also keen in future to kill the nomobile class but this is a long way off.
The real solution to this is to push https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Allow_styling_in_templat... through to completion. I haven't had time to work on this but I really think it is one of the most important existing RFCs and sadly out of the realm of my expertise. This would allow designers to use media queries in markup and style content differently in mobile/desktop.
Any takers?

I asked for a mobile only class a number of times. Not a perfect fix by all means...

We can also, for the short time being, maintain a mobile-only page with just links to our current job postings.

Our jobs page doesn't work on mobile web.
I was trying to send someone this page for the mobile web job and it wasn't good experience. This is the first thing a potential job candidate sees, we should fix this quick.
Thanks!
