The reason Wikipedia has been acting like 4chan on a bad day is that they were upgrading their software, and now we know exactly what part was upgraded.

Pretty!

Pretty!

They added a little link at the top of the page entitled “Try Beta”. If you click on it, and log in, you’ll be able to switch your current interface for a brand spanking new look n’ feel. It looks nice, but I’m not sure whether I’m happy about sacrificing the speed and simplicity of the current design just for a few whistles and shiny menu bars.

Edit: Apparently the wonkiness was actually related to something else. The new look is still pretty cool though.
