Just like the current one but without a functioning back button.

What does the back button do that you didn't expect? When I click on a different page it takes me to that page, when I click back I go back.

From what I understand, breaking the back button would mean only the URL changes when you move pages, and back takes you off the domain entirely.

It breaks the state of the previous page. Do a search for something ("rust") go to an article, click back and you're search results are gone. If I'd done the same on a normal html page my search results would be there.

Looks very good! Nice job :)

The one thing I see myself missing off the bad from wiki proper is section collapsing. Would be a welcome addition.

Good luck!

No dice for me on iOS Safari: the input has no submit functionality.

I typed 'c++', hit 'Enter', clicked on second article titled 'c++', and got the article for the letter 'c'.

Wiki2 is a similar idea [1], but keeps the general feel of Wikipedia. IMO, it does a better job of managing media (images, video, etc.) than vanilla Wikipedia.
