Trevor Hart		 After Wikipedia pulled a Fandom with its new desktop-mode layout, This extension provides a good way to go back to the classic Vector skin. I like the Vector skin better, since it isn't a poorly-blown-up version of the mobile layout. If you liked the pre-2023 layout of Wikipedia, this extension is for you!
