While this appears to be a viable solution for you, it is not a viable solution for the vast majority of mobile users. People who want to look up the latest information from their favorite wikia don't want to be bothered by the need to add a query to "each and every wiki page link" that doesn't display properly on their mobile devices.

True, most mobile browsers have an option to switch to desktop view. Again, this should be unnecessary. Among other reasons, switching a mobile browser to desktop view consumes far more bandwidth, which comes at a premium for most mobile users. Therefore, while the useskin is of great value for testing how pages look on other devices, it is not a solution for someone wishing to make desktop-structured content look good on mobile devices.
