Notes:
 * Wikimedia presently offers Vector (default), Monobook, Cologne Blue and Modern (Nostalgia Wikipedia is a special case), using Minerva for mobile devices.
 * Wikia presently offers Oasis (mandatory default) and Monobook for almost all wikis (Uncyclopedia is a special case), using the current WikiaMobile for mobile devices.
 * Wikimedia defaults: (Nostalgia ->) Classic WikiStandard -> Monobook -> Vector. I include Nostalgia in parens as it's a recreation of the old layout in newer software, hence the anachronistic name.
 * Wikia defaults: various (Monobook, Monaco, Quartz) -> Monaco -> Oasis.
 * Cologne Blue and Modern seem to be designed on a similar style or principle, the main layout difference being that Cologne Blue demonstrates a very strong Classic WikiStandard influence on its layout (e.g. position of interlanguage links), whereas Modern shows a layout much more intuitive to those accustomed to Monobook decendents (e.g. user bar and horizontal (pseudo) tab bar).
 * Logo profile: none for Modern, textual wordmark for Cologne Blue, small wide image (or textual) for Oasis, square or squarish image for Monobook/Vector/Classic WikiStandard/later versions of Monaco. Quartz and early Monaco: larger wide image.
