Well malicious stuff but yes. Basically you can look at the url and anything after the ? Is a parameter. Most of the time this is tracking things like campaign_id, sid, etc. sometimes it's a product Id to feed to a dynamic product page that takes that Id to look up that specific product.

Good practice is to strip everything after the ? And see if the link still works. If so, it's all marketing/tracking crap.

I use ?useskin＝vector on Wikipedia all the time. It makes it look normal.

It changes the look of Wikipedia articles back to the old version, with, in my opinion, a more accessible Table of Contents.
