Reviews of revert wikipedia layout:
I second what Elisabeth Rowe has written. All the hyperlinks on pages have "?useskin=vector" at the end, hence no tooltip preview appears. Please, see how it's done in the Old Wiki extension, it doesn't have the same problem: https://github.com/adlerzei/old-wiki
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!
So all this extension does is append '?useskin=vector' to all Wikipedia links. There is already a Tampermonkey script available doing the same thing.
Hasn't erased my windows directory yet and does what it says on the tin. Excellent.
Works for Wikipedia hyperlinks, but not when I use Wikipedia's search box.
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.
Perfect
Sweet relief.
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.
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.
Works great but only on articles. Doesn't work on Main page. Silly change, don't know what they were thinking.
Works perfect. Thank you!
This works as advertised. Wikipedia's insane new UI is awful to look at and even worse to read with any high resolution monitor.
