If I call a page from my wiki using something other than the default skin, by putting ?useskin=chick for example after the URL for the page, is there some way to make links that users click on, in that page, also use the "chick" skin? I'd very much like to find an easy not to hacky way to decide which skin is used so I can repurpose some of my content within other sites and not have it all fall apart as soon as someone clicks on something and gets put back to the main site skin.
Help appreciated,

What happens if you set a cookie named useskin with value chick?
I'm not sure how I'd go about setting a cookie from within Mediawiki and how or when it would get read back to change the links on the page. I probably could (at the very limits of my knowledge and skill) write some jscript to run through the page and add ?useskin=chick to the end of all links, but, like I said, I'm trying to avoid something as "hacky" as that.
