By forcing these older designs on every Wikipedia article, it offers a nostalgic and familiar browsing experience for those who prefer the traditional Wikipedia interface over newer designs. This simple add-on enhances usability for longtime Wikipedia readers wanting to maintain their familiar layout preference.
