So, looking at Quantcast data for this Wiki, you had around 37.0K views for the past week right? There’s a similar Wiki you are on (Inheritance) that has around 50K, & we were rejected from getting a Community App, so unless you have new content for the topic coming up it may prove difficult to get one. You would also need to enable Discussions before it could even be considered. Now, a Mobile Main Page is still great even if you don’t have an App, it’s just an excellent means of navigation for your mobile users. You can see examples of MMPs I have made here, here , & here. If you need help figuring out how to set one up technically speaking, Help:Mobile Main Page is really useful & the actual interface is easy to understand from your desktop, but I can help if you are stuck on how to do something. As for best practices, I’ve found that you should pick 2-4 of the most important pages that anyone is going to need to see on your Wiki & link them as “Featured Content”. You just click “Add New Featured Content,” pick a display name & input the name of the actual page, then upload a nice image to go with. That’s one featured content up, do it for each of the most important pages like I said, then pick another 3 pages that aren’t as important / don’t get a lot of traffic but that you know it would be good for readers to see. Do those last, & remember that you can link popular blogs here too, it doesn’t have to be a page. Now that featured content is done, Featured Categories is where you are going to spend 70% of your time. You’re going to want to identify the “sections” of your Wiki (e.g. on my home Wiki, we have tanks, gameplay, fanon, a sequel section, & a section for Community stuff). Each of those sections should be added as a Featured Category section, & you should have 2-6 I think. In each of these sections you are going to make links to all of the child categories that make up each section. Special:CategoryTree is really helpful for this. So if you have a “Characters” section, the categories you are going to put in this section could be “Main Characters,” “Minor Characters,” et cetera. For each Category you will need an image, so find a lot of images before you even start on your MMP, because you are going to burn through a lot. After you’ve done all that, you should have basically the entirety of the Wiki encapsulated in these Category sections. If I want the main protagonist, as a reader I should be able to hit the Characters category section, the Main Characters category link, & from that category page I should be able to find the protagonist. It should be like this for every single page; they should all be reachable from the MMP. If that’s not the case, then this is where you can do “Optional Categories,” this is where you should list all the sore-thumb Categories that don’t fit into an overarching topic. Try to aim for no more than two of these. Once you’ve done all that, you have basically set up your entire MMP navigationally. Optionally, you can add a Wiki Description, which should be short, & the image that comes with it should be either the best image you have on the entire Wiki or the main image of the series itself. . This is what new arrivals to the Community App will see as they arrive, but there is little value in setting it up unless you have a Community App, which is why I say it’s optional.
