User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-24751354-20141213045834

I am going to try to be open-minded here and take a neutral approach.

I think it's good that there is an easier way to navigate the page, On a particularly large page It's nice to be able to access any section from any section using the button to the left.

I do, however, think that clicking the edit button on the left should open up the default editor to edit the page, rather than having to hover over it and then click; that extra step seems like it will be very annoying.

I also think that the buttons should be an option; I don't think that on my wiki we would have any need for that sharing button at the bottom of the stack, and the gear button isn't really something that seems helpful to slide along the page with you...

The recommended content is nicely laid out, but I think that it takes up too much space. It's nice on that article, but on shorter articles it may become a bit overwhelming... I personally would prefer that it be a cleaner version of a related content section, where it links to other places on its own wiki

Overall, the new style of edit button is nice; it may just be an addblocker, but there is a gap between the headerbar and the page, and although that looks nice on the horror story, it doesn't look nice on the disney.

I'm still debating my thoughts about the left side buttons and removing the rail, but I can see that you guys have been putting a lot of thought into it, so I'm willing to see where this will go (I can also respect both links leading to people named Elsa)
