Hot take: the mobile site also isn't good for cellphones
2 comments

My main gripe about the Wikipedia mobile site is that text search doesn't work on the collapsed sections, and there's no way to expand all sections at once. The simplest thing left to do is the request/navigate to the desktop site and use your browser's find text feature then.
Agree! I despise almost all mobile sites, even from my phone. "responsive" sites invariably suck too. Give me the full desktop site every time.
Are you so sure you want that 300px left panel on your 480px screen?
Responsive sites are great. If you really want a desktop view, use your browser's desktop mode. If it doesn't have one, find a better browser.
