Thanks. I see that I forgot to close one of the template brackets. Thanks for providing these links:


 * [ View mobile site]
 * [ View full site]

The links work correctly here:
 * w:c:cannabis:Register and vote for cannabis
 * It uses this: w:c:cannabis:Template:View full site. The template type is "Context-link" so that it is seen in both mobile and desktop view.

Other readers will greatly appreciate your template w:c:justleafy:HiddenWord.

But I will be using 2 side-by-side links since it is not intuitive at first to new readers that there are 2 ways to view Wikia websites. And people like choice, and a choice intrigues them.

If they only see "view full site" they may not click it. "Full site" doesn't necessarily mean desktop view. They may think it is going to an altogether different website, the "full version". Or they not even realize they are already on a mobile view. Many things may cross their minds.

And desktop view nowadays is also the mobile view on many sites. Shoutwiki for example. In the Vector skin it uses the default MediaWiki installation. Default when used outside Wikipedia. And the main thing default MediaWiki does in mobile view is to drop the left sidebar to the bottom of the page below the content section. The content section stays the same in desktop and mobile view.
