Hello,
I tried to discuss this on #wikimedia-mobile on Freenode, but nobody could explain this to me:
I'm building a website that allows the users to view Wikipedia changes correlated to rDNS names of their editors and I wanted to implement a "random mode" that allows thm to see all edits made by a given rDNS domain - the user would just press F5 and see the editor in context like this:
http://wikispy.wmflabs.org/by_rdns_random/plwiki/.gov.pl
I would definitely prefer to use the mobile version of Wikipedia though or at least Special:MobileEdit, but both disallow framing. Is there any specific reason for that? I would guess that this is for security, but I have to admit I don't know what could be gained by showing the MobileDiff in a frame.
Cheers, d33tah

I don't know about normal mobile page views, but edit views are not allowed to be framed to prevent click-jacking attacks [1]
