Yes, it's shit. Are you on desktop, or firefox mobile ? if so, install the redirector extension. Then add the following regexps:
First one: redirect (.*)\.wikipedia\.org/([^?]*)$ to $1.wikipedia.org/$2?useskin=vector
Second one: redirect (.*)\.wikipedia\.org/(.*\?.*)$ to $1.wikipedia.org/$2&useskin=vector, exclude .*useskin=vector.* - and use an example URL that include some random GET parameter (?a=b for example).
... you'll get the old UI back, and no need to be logged in. The same extension, by the way, can easily be used to automatically redirect reddit links to old reddit, or mobile wikipedia to the desktop one.
The second one is good, but it's there specifically to add the "useskin=vector" parameter on an URL where at least one other GET parameter is already present; as a result, simply replace your example URL by, say:
