Glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't stand the new design.

Fortunately, I found that Wikipedia allows to select the old design in the account preferences when you're logged in. You can even switch back to the very old pre-2010 theme.

It sucks, I really dislike how that sidebar works, the old inline one at the top of the article was so much nicer to use. (It's pretty clear this was a "make it pretty update" without much care for how it works)

I think a big assumption of the new design is that you use it to use wikipedia itself, generally most of my wikipedia usage is as a reference for the main thing that I'm actually doing, where by having a wide modern monitor, I can put wikipedia on half (or less!) of the screen and have it be useful. Now with this sidebar thing it's much more annoying to do.

And I like the floaty bar - makes it easier to skip sections, needs less scrolling :shrugging_emoji: I will stay with the new version because of it (and shorter line width too).
