 * Mobile has always been more important to Wikia than desktops.

To be frank, this isn't true. It's only over the past two years or so that mobile has become a particularly big force on Wikia.

We know desktops aren't going away, but it would be foolish to ignore that already half of people who visit Wikia aren't sitting at a computer - they're looking stuff up on the tablet while watching TV, or browsing on their phone while on the train. They need to have as good an experience as desktop users.

The two aspects complement each other - most editing occurs on desktop devices, of course. (But even there visitors far outweigh editors.)
