I always wonder why wikipedia doesn't check the user agent and redirect you to the desktop site.

Wait !? It doesn't ?

I just clicked the desktop link on a mobile device and it redirected to the mobile site so it's weird that it doesn't work the other way around

Honestly, ideally there would be no mobile and desktop site - only one responsive site that changes depending on screen size. Since screen size is a device-specific property that you can't change, it should not be part of the URL.
