This task is about deciding on and implementing the logic that will determine what edit notices [i] are not shown within the New Discussion Tool.
Background
Currently, when people edit talk pages, they will often see messages above the edit window and section=new form that contain guidance about how to edit the talk page (e.g. "follow the guidelines and sign your posts") and information to keep in mind when editing talk pages (e.g. "your IP address will be published along with the edit you are making").
The New Discussion Tool makes some of these messages obsolete [ii] and others redundant. [iii] This task is about deciding on and implementing the logic that makes it so the New Discussion Tool does not show obsolete and redundant messages.
Possible edit notices
This section will contain the list of all possible edit notices that could appear within the New Discussion Tool were the logic this ticket is asking for is not implemented.

- Edit notices that contain information the New Discussion Tool displays "natively" (e.g. anoneditwarning as @Esanders noted in T269310#6698758).
