Can't edit sections

Summary by Jdforrester (WMF)

Brief bug for one user, possibly caused by a caching glitch?

The 'edit' links by sections don't let you edit sections as one would expect, but rather take you to an edit window that includes the whole page. I believe this was a bug someone hadn't fixed yet, or maybe it was intentional, but anyway it should probably get fixed sometime. Thought I'd let you know.

It seems to work now for some reason. Don't know what was up.

If you scroll the page while it's opening (at all, even by accidentally bumping your mouse very slightly), then the section edit links won't take you to the right place. But you're right that it does open the entire page. Full-page editing is necessary to allow things like re-using references that are defined in other sections.
