Very nice, thank you.

Except the very first page visited in wiki is "doubled" in history - once without the useskin parameter and once with it.

Try to find some wiki page on Google. When you click it, you can't go back to the results, because the previous history entry is the same page, only without the parameter.

@nethew, hi! Yeah, I know about the issue, I tried to fix it, but I think I can't, sorry about that 🤷‍♂️

P.S. You can use Wikipedia search engine to find content.

We could use replaceState() instead of pushState() for the first page visited.
Here are the changes:
Line 25 redirect(href, true);
Line 44 function redirect(inputUrl, replaceHistory) {
Line 68 if (replaceHistory) {
history.replaceState({}, '', newPath);
}
else {
history.pushState({}, '', newPath);
}

Line 85 redirect(url, false);
