Are you saying that the mobile skin will affect editor attrition once it is able to display and edit templates?

If so, why do you think that template display will be added to the mobile skin when there was a conscious decision to remove it which has stood for years? Why do you think template editing will ever be part of the mobile skin?

And even if the mobile skin could edit templates, what data is there supporting the idea that it would have any impact on editor engagement? Pageviews when mobile views are included have remained on their current trend for longer than editor attrition rate has held steady. I don't see a shred of evidence that platform proportions have had or ever will have any influence on editor engagement.
