I'll see what I can do to improve the site on small screens.

Even if they get created with a stub, its not really adding anything.
De clutter the design and remove them.

In my entire time in the community, I haven't heard about these buttons ever being used, let alone referred to.

Worse case scenario, we find out we need them for a few pages. We can add some links in the text. No biggy.

;) And then it makes sense to put all those sub-site buttons as a task bar on the top. With a visual marker that shows which sub-site the current page belongs to.

WIP:

The hamburger icon will open a side menu, like on Wikipedia and YouTube.
The looking glass icon will show a search bar.

Small note: the main content part of the page gets _very_ narrow on a smartphone (even with landscape view).  I think this was a problem before but it's definitely a problem now.

It could probably be dealt with via some kind of reactive design that places the Twitter feed underneath the side menu (or removes it entirely) if the screen width gets too narrow.
