Bug#1119977: Broken by changes at wikipedia.org, forky version includes workaround

Package: wike
Version: 3.1.1-1
Severity: important

About 2 weeks ago Wikipedia changed how it chooses between "desktop version" and "mobile version".
That broke wike/trixie which gets the desktop version, and none of wike's custom CSS works.
So basically it looks terrible (including black-on-black text, in some cases).

I tested "sudo apt install ./wike_3.1.3-1_all.deb" from forky, and it fixes the problem.
I *think* it's this one-line upstream change (to spoof User-Agent), but I'm not 100% sure.

    <REDACTED> twb: Sounds like a candidate for stable-update.
               Though I don't see a bug report for it yet.

So this is me filing the bug report :-)
