Hello Lydia,
I can understand that it is not restored back in the previous situation, but this is not an improvement. Editing Wikidata is made harder, more difficult, and more clumpsy. This change of a new design is counter-productive. For months we are asking people to add stuff to Wikidata if they created an article, we stop with that. We really can't explain this change. It is also counter-productive if a wrong decision is made and the effects for end users are ignored, while they have (or had) to deal with it every time. This version is not an improvement but a step back in time. I am sure you and your team have been working hard on this, but apparently in the process it has been missed how a lot of users work with Wikidata.
That you notice some issues is fine, but that is no answer at all to the current complaints. Seeing the reactions from other users elsewhere I am not alone in this.
But one question is answered, you are not willing to restore a better version of the software to restore the downfall but want to keep this annoying not handy working version.
No that's not what I said. I said we are going to move forward and make this better so the issues you are having now will no longer be there. By no means do I want to insist on keeping the current status - quite the opposite.
Cheers Lydia
