Themes

Transformer Theme (default)

An omnipotent all-in-one optimizor of wikipedia, containing all the features mentioned above.

Note that this theme is still under development (beta version). Further work is required to patch and clean the css code snippet and adjust the aesthetic design. However, this transformer theme is usable now and you just need to follow the procedures in the installation section.

Academia Theme

A black-and-white theme with clear citation links for academia and research, only contains the first feature.

Warmpaper Theme

A stunning newspaper-like reading experience with minimalism design, only contains the first feature.

Installation

1. Install Tampermonkey to your browser if you don't have one yet.
2. Click this link to install directly (it will install automatically once being clicked and then you can close the tab).

Limitations

1. This userscript has been tested only in English wikipedia pages, though it should be functionally general to all language versions.

2. This userscript is mainly developed by the default skin (Vector Legacy). Since it overwrites the website layout based on the official javascript/css, it only fits several official skins. Note that if you stay as guest or didn’t change the offical skin of wikipedia within your account, you’re likely using Vector Legacy and don’t need to worry about this.

   Official Skin	Fit?	Details
   Vector Legacy (2010) - default	✓✓	(Developed based on this) By if login, the panel will disappear #4.
   Vector (2022)	✓	Better in wide screen
   Timeless	✓	Better in wide screen
   Monobook	✗	Miss panel and header
   MinervaNeue	✗	Miss content
