Okay, well. I'm very dearly sorry to interrupt, but I'd just want to help. and it involves these steps. @JSYK this SeaSide98, because I'm not sure if you've ever done this before and just in case you might not know. And I'm not sure if you even feel like doing this. It's not that hard. Sorry if you already knew this, just want to help out in case there is need to. As for you @RePeat, you have no accessibility rights to these as a non-admin, but you can still read these and try them out on your own test wiki.

being an administratort to do all of this and to contact staff to turn on the Gadgets Extension on this wiki.

Using some MediaWiki pag.

With this, it'll allow to go into your preferences, (and the followings things I'm about to say would be very possible, and is in fact actually possible) and choose to turn on the following gadgets, in this case, skins. You could turn on it to be the new skin, or turn that off and turn on the old skin.

We'd call the old skin, MediaWiki:Gadget-OldSkin.css and MediaWiki:Gadget-OldSkin.js, and implement the scripts and stylesheet into those pages.

Then for the new skin, MediaWiki:Gadget-NewSkin.css and MediaWiki:Gadget-NewSkin.js, and we'd do the same steps.

We'd also have to use MediaWiki:gadgets-definition to add the gadgets list on the preferences, and MediaWiki:gadgets-NewSkin and MediaWiki:gadgets-OldSkin for the description.

It might look like this for inside the page MediaWiki:gadgets-definition:

Skins

 * NewSkin|NewSkin.js|NewSkin.css
 * NewSkin|OldSkin.css|OldSkin.css
