Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Many individuals prefer the old Wikipedia layout (pre-2023)— this extension aims to bring that back.
Wikipedia offers registered users to change their layout preferences through their account settings, however, incognito and unregistered users are unfortunately left out. This simple extension solves this issue by adding the necessary URL parameter to every Wikipedia page, to ensure that the old layout is displayed.

It works, but it doesn't show the previews when you hover over the hyperlinks.
This extension helps a lot, the new layout really sucks and it's baffling that they use THAT as the default layout, does what it says on the title, awesome.
The new Wikipedia UI sucks real bad. After installing this extension Wikipedia is usable again. Excellent.
Thank you for your efforts. Cannot stress how poorly the new wikipedia was implemented with the ridiculous use of wasted whitespace
Thank you for restoring some measure of sanity to an increasingly insane world. Minor request: I'm wondering if it would be possible to add an option to somehow exclude bookmarked pages from the extension's URL modification? That way I could click on a bookmark and it would bring me to the default/unmodified URL (it used to do this prior to 1/23, before you updated it). I have a number of Wikipedia pages bookmarked, and now that the URL has been modified, clicking on a bookmark automatically redirects me to the useskin=vector version of the page. I haven't lost any bookmarks or anything, but the bookmark star isn't blue anymore for those select pages and it's a slight annoyance in regards to keeping track of articles I previously saved.
Exactly what I needed
Does exactly what is says
new layout wastes 2/3rds of my screen. this does what it says on the can. website now functions properly on desktops
Works!
Does exactly what it says without any fuss. Did notice that it tries to constantly refresh reddit on old reddit layout, but removing its permission to modify reddit stopped it.
