Description

We received this feedback during the Wikimedia Clinic:

As a mentor, I realized, that large portions of newcomers using mobile tools to edit Wikipedia, and I have to check this for each question, because my answer strongly depends on on which interface they try to solve a problem. A label showing this information would be useful, so it is not necessary to check it in the page history.

For some statistics, to understand the volume of edits from mobile devices in ruwiki for last month (thanks @Q-bit-array):
319 edits from the MentorshipModule
99 edits were from a mobile device
220 edits were from PC

That is, almost 1/3 of the newcomers ask from mobile devices.
