My wiki just got migrated. Unfortunately, that seems to mean that I can no longer edit the way I used to (using desktop mode from Android Chrome). Where do I go for help?

I tried using mobile mode, but that not only gives me in-text ads as if I was not logged in, it also doesn't show the "Edit Page" button on the main page, which would naturally be the first thing I need to fix after the change. But more importantly, even with the smallest keyboard size, I only get to see 3 lines of text at a time, which is less than half of what I could work before in desktop mode. And the desktop editor is even worse. Since there are multiple bars anchored to the screen rather than the page itself (this is true in both versions), bringing up the keyboard results in the text being under something else and thus not visible at all.

I get why one would want to screen-anchor their self-advertising, but could you at least provide an option to scroll out the other bars, at least for registered editors? Or, if something like this already exists, could you please point me to it? For the old wiki, there was a custom script that allowed me to scroll out the fandom bar in most situations, while everything else was page-anchored. I would like the same for the format bars of both the desktop and mobile editors, as well as the bottom bar of the desktop editor (where you describe edits, have minor/watch/review/cancel/save, and a copyright notice).

Amusingly enough, I can edit wikipedia in desktop mode just fine without any of this screen-anchored nonsense. Which suggests that the issue is not one of the MediaWiki software. It's one of Fandom.
