Description

Enable mediawiki mobile frontend.

It’s already installed. Works quite well. Imprint footer links now functional.

GitHub - varnishcache/varnish-devicedetect: VCL based device detection for Varnish Cache. could be the way to go.

Extension:MobileFrontend - MediaWiki contains some info on how to make MobileFrontend work with varnish.
