If the mobile version of a page is different than the desktop version, there's probably nothing we at Tardis can do about it. So go with what you see on the desktop, in the FandomDesktop skin.

When you're discussing a page with other users, it's important that you all be working off the same version of the page. This means that discussions should generally be about the desktop version of the page, using whatever skin is Fandom's preferred skin at the time of the discussion.

Due to differences in code, some parts of a page may appear to be different on a phone. In such cases, the FandomDesktop version controls.

The only exceptions are discussions which are specifically about the way the page looks on a device that is displayed through Fandom's current mobile framework.

Users should understand, however, that Tardis admin may not be able to effect change in non-desktop, non-Oasis page views. Many discussions that begin with, "I wish the mobile skin could look like <this>," will inevitably be answered in the negative.

If threads of this kind get quickly closed, please do not take it personally.
