I find it ludicrous, at least for my personal use. 99% of the time, I read the table of contents just once, to find the specific information I'm looking for. I rarely read an article in its entirety, and when I do, I do it continuously. I never go back and forth between sections, as in terms of length wikipedia articles are not reference books.

I'm genuinely surprised that apparently many other users have a different method for reading Wikipedia articles, given the number of people who defend this layout choice.

For my part, I'm really annoyed by this floating menu, in particular when it replaced links to other languages -links that I use much more often than the table of contents. But OK, let's agree to disagree, I can perfectly imagine that this layout may work for other people, it's just not the case for me.

To solve the issue I installed some browser extension rather than creating an account of wikipedia (as I have a severe case of account creation fatigue), so no harm no foul, but it is a shame that they did not plan to make it an easily accessible option.
