Objective

Junior and Senior Contributors feel confident and comfortable starting new talk page conversations using a mobile device.

User stories

• As a Junior or Senior Contributor seeking to talk with a specific person by starting a conversation on their user talk page or talk about changes to a particular article on said article's talk page:
  • I want to instinctively know what to do to start the process of starting a conversation, so that I can remain focused on thinking about what I want to say rather than what technical steps I need to take to say it.
  • I want to be confident drafting what I want to say, so that I can dedicate my focus to writing something in a way the person/people reading what I'm saying will understand/be impacted by
  • I want to be confident the topic I've been writing will appear on the page in the way I expect, so that I do not need to worry about the prospect of what I've drafted communicating something to other people that I did not intend.
  • I want to be confident the conversations I've written has been published to the page successfully, so that I do not need to wonder if there is any additional "work" I need to do to ensure the person/people I am wanting to communicate with will "hear" what I am saying to them.
