There has been no definite announcement yet about tab view, similar to Special:WikiActivity, staff is investigating how it's being used and what kind of pros and cons it has for different communities. Both are not perfect for mobile users in any sense, and this blog has some other solutions as to how you could divide/display your text, like using subpages, anchors, or a central hub for example. This is exactly what seems to be the case from the two Help articles on MediaWiki. Having the links to pages would have been preferable over a massage deluge of articles. Hopefully nothing will become too overwhelming, we'll have to see. Of course, I am operating on the premise that anyone else, save myself, will ever be interested in this topic and editing in the first place! As I do not use mobile phones for this, it will be difficult to keep track of (particularly as I live in China, where things on the internet become even *more* difficult, haha). You are spot on though, neither are perfect for mobile versions. I shall have a look at the blog you linked me to and see if there's anything in there that would make it better for mobile, though I wouldn't want to start making things incredibly difficult for users (or myself for that matter). Thanks for taking the time to help me out, I really do appreciate it!
