Interesting to see that people dislike the mobile version so much! I only use the mobile version, it's so much more readable.
I literally wrote a script that does the exact opposite of what you suggest!
I have one script that runs on all pages and converts all Wikipedia links to the mobile version, while another that runs on Wikipedia only and automatically redirects to the mobile version if I somehow land on a non-mobile Wikipedia page. It also has a shortcut to switch between mobile and desktop, and takes the referrer into account so that once I've switched to the desktop version links aren't pointing to the mobile version again. It has a couple more features like a shortcut to edit the page, since I often contribute.

Once I discovered that, and that the mobile site didn't have the random stalls from loading login.wikimedia.org, I started using it exclusively. The hardest part was retraining my muscle memory to type !wm instead of !wiki when searching for something.
- bee_rider 5y agoIt seems like we're rapidly converging on the idea "websites could be dumb content, and the browsers should decide how it should be laid out." Perhaps we can have something like this, maybe in the far distant future of 25 years ago...
- thamer 5y agoI can't edit the original post, but here's the script if anyone's interested: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/431384-switch-to-mobile-wikipedia-wiktionary-and-back https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/431384-switch-to-mobile-wi... The one to rewrite all WP links on all pages is part of a larger script which I haven't cleaned up yet, but this already provides an automatic switch to mobile if you happen to load a desktop version of the page.
