When editing a page or displaying its history, you now get a link "View article" / "View user page" etc. to go back to displaying the page. This is something I have missed badly because I often edit a page and need to check how the article looked before my edits, but want to keep the edit window in its current state. Now I can open a new tab with the "View article" link and compare the two.
As always, please let me know if there are any problems.
For editing, this duplicates the existing "Cancel" link. However, the "Cancel" itself is sufficiently non-obvious in function and position that it might make sense to just remove it in favor of this, which is in the sidebar and consistent with the existing article/discussion links. (However, note the "Nostalgia" skin lacks a sidebar completely, and Cologne Blue still needs major overhaul.)
Ultimately though, I think it would be better to just have most of the history, whatlinkshere, etc links equally available in editing and history views (iow, "Don't mode me in!")
Now running on test.wikipedia.org, try it out. I'll let it in with upgrades tonight unless there's a reason otherwise soon...
