The mobile interface is a proxy application which lets MediaWiki render basic
page text, then modifies it to optimize for small screens and puts it in a
mobile-specific user interface. Wiki pages have no way of "knowing" inherently
that they're being viewed in another way; modifying the styles (and sometimes
markup) is the mobile proxy's job.
{{SERVER}} and {{SERVERNAME}} are keywords in wiki syntax which return the
wiki's hostname (in the former case including the protocol prefix). They are
sometimes used by templates to generate arbitrary links to something on the
site, which isn't always a super safe practice but can be handy.
If constructing an arbitrary link in a wiki page, doing it with the canonical
URLs is probably the right thing to do -- you don't know that the mobile proxy
will have such a link at its domain.
