User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-24717665-20150111051340/@comment-24416108-20150111151609

Or it might mean we could write some JS which could force ?useskin=oasis to preserve our current look. I mean, better a unsupported oasis skin than the venus skin. Just to bad we'll have to edit all the links, since the global and personal JS are loaded after the general Wikia JS/skinselection. If we could take priority, we could force the latter JS to follow the old skin.

I'm thinking about a giant box on the Wiki Main page, stating something like:

"We've been forced to run a bad skin on this wiki, which unfortunately cannot be supported by the admins of this wiki, since it forces us to all put in 1k more hours of work, which we dont have the time for. Therefore include the following in your personal JS to gain the intended view of this wiki:

(import article statement)

Also, please do not sent error reports or other mistakes if you haven't loaded the JS. We can't help in that case. We also cannot load this Javascript for all of you, since that's been prohibited"
