Some criticism:
It is fine for reading, but by hiding the tabs for "edit this page", "history" etc. it does not invite editing as much as the current Wikipedia/MediaWiki does.
And in this particular case, I don't see much purpose of having the toolbar being a fixed element that does not scroll with the rest of the page.
Apart from the Font size/Dark mode controls, the links there are for leaving the page, and if I want to leave the page, there is nothing stopping me from first scrolling to the top of the page.
Most keyboards have a Home key that does that. There is also the "Scroll to the top" arrow button that pops up in the lower right corner (obscuring the text beneath it, BTW).
Something I do think would be useful, in terms of scrolling on Wikipedia/MediaWiki would be to go between Editing, Preview and Changes and keep about the same position on the page when doing so. As it is now, long articles could be disorienting and I would have to spend some time looking for the editing position when previewing my edits.
