How about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Userlogin?useskin=nostalgia
Yes! Using the link you gave I was able to do a successful log in. But the damned overlay is still there, and I don't have access to the top row of buttons such as my Watch List, etc.
Okay, then try:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences?useskin=nostalgia
and select the Nostalgia skin for permanent use there. You might also want to try some of the other skins, such as Classic and Cologne Blue.
Of course, the problem with the default Monobook skin should be fixed as soon as possible, but this should at least let you keep using Wikipedia while we try to figure out what's causing the breakage.
