Since you brought up this example.... the BBC news site used to have a mobile and desktop site... just like we did.

Eventually, they got their mobile site to a good state, removed the desktop site and used the mobile site: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31966686

It's worth pointing out we are a smaller amount of volunteers with a far more complex ecosystem (extensions) so it's likely to take us much longer.

Isn't it time to start moving to responsive mediawiki templates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design), rather than having a separate mobile interface/URL?

For a practical example, see the BBC News website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news), which is the same website on all devices, it just rescales the content/navigation/layout to suit the device. (Try resizing your web browser on your computer to the size of a mobile web browser to see what I mean.)
