Vector Layout For Wikipedia

This script appends ?useskin=vector to any Wikipedia Wiki page you visit. This returns the site to its old default desktop layout before the 2023 redesign.

Review: Good - script works

I cannot thank you enough. I know that it's highly likely wikipedia will deprecate vector, making it impossible for certain users to use their site while touting increased accessibility, but until that day comes - thanks. You've got my gratitude. Good work on preserving the mouseover previews, too.

Can you make this script work for all Wikiproject websites? And instead of using a simple list, try adding something that detects if the site is a wikiproject website or not. Probably some marker in their code that sets them apart from all other websites. Thanks.

I presume that you mean "Wikimedia" instead of "Wikiproject." Yes, that could probably be done by checking for the Wikimedia Foundation Registered Trademark Notice in the copyright footer. However, I see no reason to do so yet since other Wikimedia sites still use the Legacy Vector layout.
