Luckily this is nice and easy to fix.
There is a long running bug -
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30405 - which exists
due to many mediawiki homepages making use of 2 column layouts which
are not adaptable. As a result of this bug only html elements with and
id prefixed with mp- will be shown.
Anything without this that node will be scrubbed.
There seems to be a div wrapping the table containing Destination of
the month and Off the beaten path this will need an id with prefix
'mf-'
Try renaming instances of mp-content with mf-content
Also bear in mind an id should be unique and there are 2 mf-content
elements - make the 2nd one mf-content2
FWIW I hate the Main Page special casing and want to kill it with
fire. A great way to help with this is to remove dependencies on the
style attribute in your wikitext markup and use classes defined in
MediaWiki:Common.css
For instance instead of
<div id="mf-welcome" style="width:40%; text-align:center;">
Please use
<div id="mf-welcome" class="portal-column-left">
where
.portal-column-left {
width: 40%;
text-align:center;
}
If you can remove all instances of style=".*" you will have a much
friendly mobile site.
Grab me on irc.freenode.org #wikimediamobile Monday if you need any
help and want to talk more about the Wikivoyage mobile experience in
general ... I think there are some great opportunities to help drive
the development of all mediawiki mobile sites and I'm very excited!
