Wikipedia: use usable layout

Wikipedia updated its layout, and it now makes less sense than before. To use the sensible design it has been for over a decade, you can add this url parameter: ?useskin=vector.

Alternatively, you can use the Firefox extension Classic mode for Wikipedia, or just suck it up and press the multiple buttons it takes to widen the new layout, but that still hides the table of contents. The old view is the only way to get that classic TOC object.
