[13:13:23] <bleb>	 I brought this up the other day in #wikipedia but
[13:14:10] <bleb>	 when you search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?useskin=vector&search=... it strips the useskin=vector when it redirects you to an article
[13:15:24] <bleb>	 as a result addons such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wikipedia-vector-skin/ don't work properly for search
[13:16:58] <bleb>	 is anyone familiar with how the redirection by Special:Search is implemented, or why the destination URL wouldn't be rewritten by a browser addons?
[13:17:57] <bleb>	 I wonder if it could be fixed by changing how the redirection works, or retaining query parameters in the URL when redirecting
[13:18:57] <RhinosF1>	 bleb: you can change the skin properly if you have an account
[13:56:14] <Remilia>	 bleb:  the useskin query parameter is generally not kept at all, it is there mostly for preview purposes
[13:57:16] <Remilia>	 open the main page with ?useskin=vector, then try clicking any of the links to the articles
