User reviews
it works and the new wikipedia theme is just terrible. if you want a better solution i suggest a wikiless instance (if you use librex search engine and type "!w" or find wikipedia in a search result it will go straight to the wikiless instance), it's FOSS wikipedia with old theme and no tracking
