Skin for Mobile Phones
If you change the default skin to "Timeless" your site will be usable from mobile phones without any other changes.
LocalSettings.php, search for "wgDefaultSkin", the line will probably look like
$wgDefaultSkin = "vector";
Change it to
wfLoadSkin("Timeless");
$wgDefaultSkin = "Timeless";
Reload your apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Visit your page with the normal browser and your mobile phone. It WILL look differently but that is the price you pay for not having to install any add-ons or manually change a lot of things.
