is there a reason why there is no small implementation directly in mediawiki to make a wiki accessible since the same adress?
I mean, we have a different page for printing pages, couldn't this be done also for pda?
Sure. Somebody just has to do it. Preferably someone with access to a bunch of typical PDAs and Internet-enabled cell phones and so on.

You wouldn't want to do it that way; if you did, you'd have to click through to it from every page.
Actually, you don't. The print stylesheet is used whether or not you click "Printable version". That's just to appease people who assume that they'll get what they see when they print. :)

Mine reads css but misplace elements on the page , for example, the left column is shown at bottom and a margin of this size is kept, making the article unreadable, with one word by line. Moreover, lot of data like language lists or toolbox, harmless for a classic screen transform the page in a monster, loosing the reader in thousands of informations.
Okay, that's a good first suggestion. The left margin for the main content should be killed. This can be done by just using @media handheld rule. Probably. Unfortunately, when I tried it with Opera's small-screen mode, unpleasant things happened.
Technically, your handheld should not be loading the stylesheet. It's marked explicitly as screen and projection only. It's really not meant for handhelds, by and large. (Opera in small-screen mode does seem to load it, but only specific rules. It guesses that quite well, though. My attempts to improve it resulted in disaster, since it actually did what I said and tried doing the whole thing.)
Not sure. For example, google, which has a pda special interface, detects the browser and switches automatically to a light interface. imho, it could be done on a mediawiki page, the software detects the browser and shows the right interface.
Unfortunately, that's hard to do and hard to maintain.
