Thanks for the tip, I did not know about this app. I'll add a link, just for the
record: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtmcn.archwiki.viewer

However, as an ArchWiki maintainer, I need the page rendered exactly the same as
it would be on a desktop. According to the screenshots, this app uses some
custom mobile layout optimized for small screens. Also note that mobile versions
of websites generally are mostly useless on a tablet with a (relatively) large
screen.
