On every page there is an icon of a pencil. It is linked to #editor/0. I.e. there is no way to edit any other section than section 0. Maybe it was assumed that /0 meant the whole page. Anyway one must manually change the url to /1, /2 etc.
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1909
Are there no pencil icons in sections when you unfold them? If no, can you provide a URL?
Ah... I get it! To edit section | use pencil at 0 | top left 1 | side right 2 | side right 3 | side right 4 | side right Who would have ever guessed! One assumes instead: To edit section | use pencil at entire article | top left 0 | side right 1 | side right 2 | side right 3 | side right 4 | side right
The star watchlist icon applies to the entire article, so one assumes the same with the edit icon appearing in the same row. I didn't test the upload icon.
Maybe if there is nowhere else to put it, have that row be: Pencil (edit whole article), upload, watch, Pencil+0 (edit section 0)
This is currently by design to make editing easier on a mobile screen by optimising for section editing. We are currently exploring full page edits in our work on VisualEditor. This may or may not get addressed as part of that.
In the case of VE this does mean edit the entire page. On tablets/desktops we may make this mean the entire page. cc'ing Jared in case he can comment on the long term strategy.
This is being handled as part of the Fixed Header / Winter Beta feature https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Winter
