Every wiki having the same infobox would take away apart the individuality of a wiki, and apart of the appeal of making a wiki, (which for me, is deciding which designs and infobox template you want to use).

I checked out the infobox you guys are suggestion on mobile, and it doesn't look that much better on mobile, than the regular ones. Would there be no way to make every wiki look like they do in the wiki apps, on mobile?

To get compatibility across all mobile devices means displaying the information as simplified text with some basic formatting and image support. but of cause if your mobile device can display it the option to view the website in full is available.

Yes of course all wikis could look like the ones that have a mobile App I would guess that's what they are working towards.

Other options would have been
 * To use Extension:MobileDetect that would solve the problem with ease (but wikia don't seem interested in providing it to it's users. Base on the fact no feedback given on the Extension).
 * Making use of "Special:CuratedContent" for all mobile views not just the Wikia Apps.

Always remember you have not got to start using the PortableInfoboxes right now they are still very much in beta. So don't lose heart.

Make sure to keep on giving feedback that way if enough unhappy users make that fact clear Wikia may keep both versions of the Infoboxes around so users can chose which one they wish to use.

What's needed is for the styling of the PortableInfoboxes when viewed in desktop to look like the current ones.

We all need to calm down and remember it's still in beta.
