I just received this mail from a user:
"...I upgraded to Mediawiki 1.20 on me dev machine, and things seem to work fine. However using MF for MW 1.20 has no auto-detect, so it's not very useful to me :)
Is there any chance you fix this on the master version as well (which has built it auto-detect)?"
It seems various other people are being confused with how mobile detection works [1], myself included so I have setup this basic stub of a page [2] to hopefully document this. Please share your knowledge here!

Eek. I'm afraid getting this to work on an older MediaWiki/MobileFrontend extension is extremely problematic. So much has changed both in core and the MobileFrontend extension to this....
Are you sure migrating your wiki will be as problematic as you suspect?
Best wishes and sorry to the be the bearer of bad news!! Jon

Hi, thank you for fixing this bug I opened. I appreciate it. However I'm using MW 1.18 and an older version of MobileFrontend without skins. I know it's a lot to ask for, but perhaps you'd be willing to see if such a small fix can also be applied for older versions of the extension? Migrating my entire wiki to 1.20 just for this is problematic
Thank you
