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.

Hasn't erased my windows directory yet and does what it says on the tin. Excellent.
Sweet relief.
Perfect, sorry Wikipedia but I liked the old layout more.
Thank you for making this, the current design is a hideous waste of space and I don't like them trying to force an account just to make it decent looking again. Gotta love having to install a plugin every time a major website does a terrible redesign. Wooooo.
Works for Wikipedia hyperlinks, but not when I use Wikipedia's search box.
Works as intended. Thank you, random Reddit user!

As of 1-22-23, this extension worked perfectly. Well done.
Does not seem to work for me, whenever I click a link it still shows the original UI. Redirector seems to work for me but not this extension.
The fact that this extension has to exist is a sharmful mark of wikipedias otherwise stellar track record. Kudos to the developer for coming through in such a timely matter.
