Topic on Project:Support desk

I'm a Windows PC kind of guy with a tiny personal wiki (I'm the only editor). I'm making some new game content that will probably attract mostly folks using cellphones for browsing.

When I try to google about making my site mobile-friendly, I find lots of pages about "what to avoid". I don't need this (yet); I simply don't know how to make it mobile at all (yet).

It's hard to find something that just straight-up seems to say "use this to make your site mobile friendly". For example, when I go to Wikipedia, it looks better on my phone and I notice that all the URLs have a "m" in front of them (m.wikipedia.com). But I can't simply put an "m" in front of my little site's URL; it just breaks it.

Based on what I can infer, I am thinking I probably need Extension:MobileFrontend. Is that sort of the standard pick for "making your site mobile"?

If I do that, will it automatically sense mobile vs. PC users, and interact relative to that?

Thanks if you can help!

Yes, pretty much all you need is Extension:MobileFrontend; it will automatically detect users' device as mobile or PC and send them to the appropriate version. On a side note, the "m" in front like (m.wikipedia.org) is a separate configuration, you shouldn't need it.

Yes this seems to do the trick. I'm such an amateur I don't know just what to check, lol. But it's no longer cluttering up with the PC navbar on my phone, etc. And pictures and figures seem to come through just fine.

Right... my bad; it's wikipedia.org. I knew better. Guess it slipped through the mental cracks. Of which I have plenty, laugh.

Thanks!
