Moving them next to the section-title would

The best data we have on the section edit link is, IIRC, the original
A/B test from a few years ago, summarized at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Section_edit_modification#Technica…
Personally, I think this was a flawed test and the results are skewed. Adding an icon
*absolutely* skews the results. I’d be more apt to pay attention to this if it had been
tested without the pencil icon.
I also think that having the location of the affordance be variable based upon the length
of the section title is a bad experience.
