Hi @Tfdavisatsnetnet, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Wikimedia Phabricator!

For example, (see {{slink|List of auxiliaries of the United States Navy|Medium Auxiliary Floating Dry Docks (AFDM)}})

For future reference, please include full links. I assume this is about the English version of Wikipedia.

Drops lower into the article than section '''Medium Auxiliary Floating Dry Docks (AFDM)'''

Does that also happen when using safemode? On which exact page URL? Which skin?

I apologize, but I do not know what a skin is or how to use safe mode.

Yes, it is the English version.

Are these full links?

[[List of US Navy ships sunk or damaged in action during World War II#Light cruiser (CL)]]
[[USS Norfolk (DL-1)#CLK-2]]

BTW, I have noticed that at the same time that this appeared, saving the edit of a section would result in a return to the article at a different point in the article, not to the beginning of the just-edited section. This seems to be everywhere.

I just read that page. I think it would take me several weeks of mentoring before I could even understand it.

That page is about entering a web address and four clicks in the browser. If that's too complicated then unfortunately there's not much to do in this ticket, I'm afraid.

Custom gadgets, custom user scripts, or in theory also web browser add-ons or extensions create the problem you experience.
Some work was performed in T330108 to fix this problem.
There's not much else that can be done without identifying the source of the problem by following the steps on the documentation page which I linked. :-/

I believe this is related to Vector 2022.

@Tfdavisatsnetnet, using "safemode" means that you click on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_US_Navy_ships_sunk_or_damaged_in_action_during_World_War_II?safemode=1#Heavy_cruiser_(CA) and see if the special code in the middle solves the problem.

I just clicked on the link you provided, WMF, and the problem still occurred.

FYI, what is Victor 2022? I just did a search on it and came up empty.
