I actually thing
nv.wikipedia.org is a bad example.... I actually
think all the Wikipedia's should have consistency. Clicking on a
language link in Wikipedia to the Navajo language gives the impression
you've left and gone to an external site.
When I say projects should have their own skins I mean projects
excluding languages:
e.g. mediawiki, meta wiki, wikipedia, wikibooks, wiktionary, wikivoyage etc etc
It does however point to a need for being able to customise tweaks out
of the box. In Tumblr you can do things like change the font colour,
heading colours etc. If we were to move to something like SASS or LESS
compiled CSS ResourceLoader support it would be trivial to generate
new themes with different colour schemes... which would be super cool.
Common.css is not the place for these sorts of changes - it just leads
to css cascade abuse.

Personally I'd love to see every project have it's own skin and own

If examples like
http://nv.wikipedia.org/ and the various home pages of
wikis are any evidence, I'd say you're not alone there.
