Interesting about the "useskin" URL parameter, this can be used to create URL Rewriter rules with regular expressions.

For the login page:

CODE:

Example URL: https://auth.wikimedia.org/enwiki/wiki/Special:UserLogin?useformat=desktop&usesul3=1&returnto=Main+PageInclude pattern: https://auth.wikimedia.org/enwiki/wiki/Special:(.*)Exclude pattern: useskinRedirect to: https://auth.wikimedia.org/enwiki/wiki/Special:$1&useskin=Monobook

For regular Wikipedia articles when not logged-in:

CODE:

Example URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TreeInclude pattern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(.*)Exclude pattern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(.*)\?Redirect to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1?useskin=Monobook

(You can also replace Monobook with Vector to get the pre-2022 Wikipedia skin that works well with Pale Moon. Much nicer!)
