<?php
# PersistUseskin MediaWiki Extention
#
#
# Gives any user the choice to view wiki in any of the installed skins, by clicking on a link containing the '&useskin=' query string
# simply remove the  '&useskin=' query string from the adress, to go back to default skin 
# you can then use a link like: 
# [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/index.php?title={{PAGENAMEE}}&useskin=monobook monobook] 
# to allow users to persistently browse the wiki in the chosen skin.
