The irony is that in my experience it is actually very difficult, and in some cases actually impossible, to add new text to sites like Wikia using a mobile device. I have tried on both iPad and iPhone and it just doesn't work. There's a site called tvtropes.org that hides spoilers using special coding and in order to view it you need to highlight the text. You can't highlight very easily with the on-screen keypad. So it's one thing to redesign yourself for people who are content to just read and not contribute, but for those who want to contribute, they're the ones being penalized with these types of updates. (I'm talking in general terms and not addressing a specific change to this wiki.) I'm only contributing to this discussion, for example, because I'm able to use a proper computer with a proper keyboard and a 24-inch HD screen.
