I've been meaning to ask about this on the mailing list, but have people seen http://www.wikipediaredefined.com/ ?
"Imagine you were granted the magic power to change any website in the whole world-wide web the way you like it, to make it better, more functional, more useful, better looking, more pleasing or disrupting to the eye. We've also played that game. And we've chosen Wikipedia."
Certainly worth taking a look at, even though there are things that many (including me) may not agree with.

Hi this is a question but shoulden Wikimedia wikis such as Wikipedia be
updated with a user friendly design. Currently vector is coming out of date because now a days you see sites with bruitiful colours not old ones as they were in 2010 when vector came out. We could create another skin to replace vector as we did with monobook or update vector with a new look that has bold colours and goes along with mediawiki code and is also mobile optimised even though we have the mobilefrontend extension some users may not want to install instead hoping the skin is mobile optimised.
Hello,
Others in the thread mentioned ongoing work via MediaWiki skins.
There is another total conversion that more and more folks around me are using: Wikiwand.
http://www.wikiwand.com/en/MediaWiki
Comes as Android/IOS apps and extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
I really like the simple design and all the tiny tricks they came up with. Note each articles at the top shows potential connections, which is a good way to get lost in the encyclopedia :-}
