The desktop and mobile browsing interfaces on Wikipedia differ substantially, and sometimes different templates are more or less suitable for a specific interface. For this reason certain templates do not display in mobile view, using theclass = "nomobile"
As of March 2017, only the"nomobile"-class is implemented, and"nodesktop" /"mobileonly" classes do nothing because they are not enabled inMediaWiki:Common.css orMediaWiki:Mobile.css.
This template does not itself control where content is displayed. It is intended only for template documentation, to explain a template's behavior in the mobile view.
