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:

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

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.)
