Progress! I've this up and running on the sandbox:
http://wiki-sandbox.allizom.org/Main_Page

I've only done the very basic configuration, which you can see in this commit:

Setting $wgMFAutodetectMobileView = true works in the sandbox, but per the documentation[1]:

"This solution is NOT compatible with front-end caching, as it provides no way for your cache to know the difference between a mobile view and a desktop view."

They recommend using two separate domains for the mobile and desktop versions, pointing both to the same Mediawiki installation, setting a custom header for requests coming to the mobile domain, and setting $wgMobileUrlTemplate accordingly. 

JD or C, is this possible with our current setup?

Dear Jason,
Can you help to shed some light for comment 2 from Christie?
Thanks!

This sounds possible. I think we could just add the new domain to the vhost file.
