This task is for the thinking involved with identifying the questions [i] #Editing Design thinks will need to be answered in order to meet the following objectives:

• Junior Contributors recognize article and user talk pages, on desktop and mobile, as places to communicate with other people on Wikipedia
• Junior Contributors are able to successfully and confidently respond to something someone has said, start a new conversation and know when someone is talking to them on article and user talk pages, on desktop and mobile.

Research questions

• How might we differentiate the Talk Page from the Article Page? From prior usability testing, we know that junior contributors find it challenging to make sense of the page that they are on within the context of Wikipedia. This includes more detail oriented questions such as:
• How can we use the visual language of the page to signal to readers that this is something different than the article page?
• Do we treat all Talk Pages the same? Or provide unique context - specific visual treatments?
• How might we communicate to junior contributors that the Talk Page is for discussing improvements to Wikipedia and signal that it's not a forum?

Done

• Editing Design has filled the "Research questions" section with the questions they think will need to be answered in order to deliver on the objectives described above.
  • These questions will become of the basis of the plan we will create to organize the work necessary to resolve T249579.

i. E.g. How has the visual appearance of wikitext talk pages evolved over time? What has the Wikimedia Foundation learned about how newcomers experience wikitext talk pages?
