The site gets a bad rep across the FFXI community (though mainly directed at Wikia) for being unusable on mobile. It is perfectly usable on a mobile device, just not with Mercury. I can't expect all new users to automatically know to choose to view Full Site and browse with Oasis, which is fine. It would be my prerogative if I could click a switch on my Admin panel that turns Mercury off (in the same way that Monobook was just turned off).

At DC, another site around since before Wikia and with 100k+ pages, we had page templates that were borked on mobile. The portability team I mentioned above can help your site look better on mobile. It just required updated templates, which the team took care of. We have some issues, mainly around crazy categorization and dpl (and because they reused the similar-but-not-the-same Marvel as a framework). But overall, they work.

Views on web design and viewership aren't the same as 14 years ago. It's your prerogative to not do anything about it. Nobody can make you. But if your community aims its criticism at Wikia, then unfortunately, they're misinformed. Just ask the portability team is they want to take a look at your templates.
