I was going to try to add to the table in the task description, but I thought it would be more clear to add a better description here:

Unless there is a specific reason to exclude the sticky header from a page or class of pages, it should appear on every page where the fixed top-of-page header appears. Editors expect the top-of-page header to persist upon scrolling on all pages, including Special pages, the Watchlist, search results, and elsewhere. In other words, the sticky header's presence should be treated as "opt-out" rather than its current "opt-in" behavior.

Jdlrobson changed the status of subtask T350091: Enable sticky header in the diff view from Open to Stalled.

Needs analysis to determine what would appear in the menu.

Per the web team's quarterly grooming, these tasks are being removed from the team's backlog.

I'm not sure why this is stuck or needs analysis. Show the existing sticky header on all pages when they are scrolled. Done. If you want to change the content of the sticky header, that can be a different ticket.

The sticky header currently does not show on this page when I am logged out, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&curid=3252662&diff=1271180817&oldid=1271103182

I have to scroll all the way back to the top just to use the search box.
