Hey Romaine, What you are seeing is an intermediate step in the work on the new design. Looking back we should have given this another two weeks of work before rolling it out. We will not be rolling this back however as that'd be non-trivial and counter-productive. We will instead fix the issues the current version has and push further towards the new design. The current issues I am aware of: * Edit conflicts often happening when editing more than one data point. In our testing this didn't happen so we are investigating why this is happening on the live-system now. Fix is high priority. * Long scrolling when editing an item with many sitelinks. You can press enter to save whatever you entered without needing to scroll up. That will help you right now. We will look into additional improvements over the next days. In the bug report you mention being able to edit a section while in edit mode for another section. That has never been possible. Can you clarify that please?
