You need to set an xdevice header. We do that in our varnish caching layer.
You can modify the code to set it based on WURFL detection. I'll send you the modifications on Monday... if that is okay.
It is of course ok, and Tuesday too. You can take me as a benchmark for the hobbyist webmaster willing to do something actually simple with MediaWiki, taking 10% of the possibilities but expecting to get that basic 10% decently documented.
For instance yesterday it took me a while to realize why my homepage was almost blank, but I found the instructions and linked them from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend#Homepage
As a hobbyist mediawiki sysadmin I'm getting so much with this extension that I'm happy compromising anything (e.g. wikipediaisms) as long as I can get it working. I also understand this is an experimental version under development so not really complaining about scarce docs - and as always I'm willing to learn. To give you an idea, I have no clue what "set an xdevice header" means.
Thank you for your patience!
