About this extension

If you don't like the new look of Wikipedia, they give you the choice between registering an account to get the old look or manually appending "?useskin=vector" to any URL.
If you don't want to do either of those, just use this light-weight extension. Just install it and the old look is back on all Wikipedia article pages.
Now also works on all other Wikimedia projects.

v1.1 also works on Mediawiki .org.
v1.2 had a bug fixed and should cause no more redirect loops.
v1.3 had a bug fixed. It also should work on all Wikimedia projects now (which I could only test partially, since most of their projects still use the old skin at the moment - so please provide feedback in case of any problems).
