Tolkien Gateway > Forums > A mobile version of TG?


I've been thinking about this for some time. Do you think that we should look into having a mobile version of the website? I think that it would be essentially a skin that would work well on a tiny screen. The Wikipedia mobile version looks pretty good, perhaps we could base ours of that? Thoughts?-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  10:58, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking about this in the last weeks. I think it would be a great thing if we would have a mobile version/skin. Wikipedia's version is very good, though you can't get to pages like Recent Changes easily. I would put the links of Main Page - Recent Changes - Forums at the top of the screen, instead of at the left side. --Amroth 12:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Although I would like this, I don't think it should be a priority. After all, time spent on this is time not spent editing. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 15:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
I like this idea, too. Wikipedia's mobile style is extremely usable and I could see something like that being quite helpful. A cursory search yields these two sources, below Pallando 16:27, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
If anyone is still interested in this, I would recommend installing [Extension:MobileFrontend] as an easy solution. It requires basically no configuration and automatically gives mobile users the Wikipedia mobile site. This can probably be more customized. Neithan 20:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
