 Using FTP find echo "<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1\" />"; and change the scale to .25.  This fixed the problem with me and now the site looks somewhat normal via mobile.
+  You, sir, win the internets for the mobile browsing fix.

+  * **WARNING!** This template, by default, sends the URLs of your wiki pages to a third party (the current maintainer of the template). If you do not want that, disable the use of QR codes in ''monobook/conf/default.php''. I consider this a severe privacy issue. --- [[user>kp|kp]] //2015-07-24 23:32//
+    * If you consider this a "severe privacy issue", you should warn about every jQuery Google CDN usage in other templates or plugins instead. Our API does NOT STORE the request contents in ANY WAY (unlike e.g. Google's chart API does). The probably most important thing for api.qrserver.com  and monobook users is the fact that we won't store or log QR code contents and HTTPS is used if your wiki is also using HTTPs.\\ The log files of our QR code API servers only store that an API request happened for (D)DOS protection, not what content was requested (=request uri does not get logged). The QR code API (= the programming interface provided and used by us at api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/) does not even use Cookies! The QR code image / symbol will be deleted ~30 seconds after delivery from the cache and is not permanently stored. Please see the summary of our privacy statement at [[http://goqr.me/privacy-safety-security/]]. --- [[user>andreas|Andreas]] //2015-07-25 18:45//
+      * Attacking Google, other authors or users (me) doesn't make your actions any more acceptable in my eyes. If anything, it casts you in bad light. You're pushing adware/malware here, from my perspective. You can say whatever you like about your security practices, I must not believe you because I can't take you to court if you break your promises. Let's pretend that Google had all my data anyway – that wouldn't make me any more willing to give it to anyone else.  --- [[user>kp|kp]] //2015-07-26 01:02//
+        * You are right about the technical view: not every user is able to understand what a) a Referer is and b) that an external QR code containing the page's URL has to get the data from somewhere. I will redesign the [[https://github.com/arsava/dokuwiki-template-monobook/blob/master/lang/en/settings.php#L67|options description]]. I understand your argument 100% and I should make it more transparent, that an external image containing the URL may be unacceptable. Maybe I'll include a lib which creates the QR code locally regardless of the bloat, the template has to get a (responsive) rewrite anyway.\\ **BUT**: you attack me and not the other way round. What upsets me is your inappropriate behaviour and word choice. Asserting bad behaviour of our API and inferior motives only because I implemented an IMHO useful and optional feature (Opt-Out but optional). Malware? Seriously? Unacceptable actions? What about contacting me or posting here discussion your point of view without a bold //WARNING//?! What do you expect? If you think your project is important enough not to trust me, don't use my software. It is that simple. Open Source or not (or did you review every line of code?).\\ \\ I named Google because it is a joke to blame the QR code feature submitting URLs (!=page contents, even I have to admit a URL may contain senstive data) to an API which is controlled by the same guys who wrote the template including running the API with proper privacy in mind. Especially when there are tons of DokuWiki Plugins and templates with external resources, submitting your URLs by [[wp>HTTP_referer|Referer]].\\ Projects which have to care about their URLs have to review the software behaviour anyway to make sure there are no external parts the browser is loading, an this is one reason why the QR code feature is optional (so people can easily disable it) beside many users just don't like the visual appearance. Do you really plan to put words like "Warning" on every project page with external resources? If not, why blaming my project without discussing how to do it better first?\\ So I will rethink the behaviour. As I can remember, there was some discussion about the [[plugin:popularity|Popularity plugin]] (for the very same reason -- URL(s) of the Wiki should kept private from Dokuwiki.org) because it was Opt-Out until three(?) years ago. But I fear with an Opt-In, many users will not see how useful QR codes can be. So as a //first// conclusion, a local QR code generation would be the best solution. But please stop damage on my personal reputation by calling me a malware author before even talking to me. Seriously. --- [[user>andreas|Andreas]] //2015-07-26 23:04//
+        * @kp: after discussing the issue within out team: I'll try to release an updated version with at least a good notice and/or local QR code creation within the next two weeks. --- [[user>andreas|Andreas]] //2015-07-28 17:16//
