Osdev is only a wiki and a forum, so for me it needs only a "What is it ?" Page

Responsive design for reading on mobiles would be the first thing I'd fix.

Mediawiki, the wiki software, has got support for a mobile theme. Mobile/responsive design on phpBB is a long-term outstanding issue, due in part to the fact that, if I remember correctly, the theme engine is a) unable to determine if the page is being viewed on a desktop or mobile device and b) unable to deliver a different theme for different devices (because really there is no theme engine, and implementing mobile support would have to be done in the theme itself - one could theoretically create a dummy theme that attempts to detect the device in use and then passes through to one of two other themes configured in an ini file, but this hasn't been done yet).

I don't browse the wiki on the mobile but I guess it would be like wikipedia. As for phpBB a quick search shows some themes are being designed to be responsive. https://designsmaz.com/best-responsive-phpbb-themes/

Themes are usually the only thing to control responsive design, other frameworks like WordPress or Joomla don't have anything in the PHP code that styles the page for mobiles, it's all taken care of by CSS using media queries.

I usually press a few times ctrl+ for the Firefox to enlarge the font. Is it a design issue?

Except that it has to be explicitly installed and enabled somewhere in the configuration, and that hasn't been done for this wiki.

I somewhat hate responsive design, because it never displays properly on either my desktop or my phone and even if it does it's impossible to change that much in CSS that the theme is efficient to use on both a desktop and a mobile (so many interfaces these days are designed almost exclusively for mobile devices and just scale up/rearrange elements for desktops, making them less efficient to use on a desktop than a true desktop interface - I'm looking at you, Microsoft), and I was thinking more of the "offer an alternative theme to mobile user agents" approach.
