Thanks again for replying and I do appreciate the offer of aid from the portability team. However, the site doesn't generate revenue for me, which means it's purely a hobby and not a business concern; I have more than enough to do on the site to fill my spare time as it is (we're still catching up on completing the actual content, mainly). If FANDOM want to change that, I'll certainly put the appropriate time into making the Mercury user experience as great as it can be so that the ad views increase.

What I don't understand is:

The user experience doesn't have to be better on Mercury, it just has to be usable, good enough for a user to navigate through it and find what they want.

Why? When mobile users (and I am one on a 5.7" display, not a pad) can get Oasis with the View Full Site option, and the user experience equates to the desktop.

I'm not against a mobile skin, but conceding that it only has to be usable suggests that it needs a solid redesign so that it at least equates to Oasis-on-mobile before being set as the default landing point for visitors.

The current defaults are frustrating, but as you answered my question that it was too complex to set FFXIclopedia's default mobile experience to Oasis, I accept that and will move on. I don't know the amount of ad revenue the site brings in for FANDOM in comparison to the other wikis, but I can wholly understand that if it is not significant (the stats say 835k pageviews this week), the site won't register highly on FANDOM's priorities.

Thanks again for taking the time to communicate. The insights and being clear on the options available are both invaluable and helpful.
