Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

🌱 This task is still a seed germinating on the forest floor that is Phabricator. If it brings ideas/thoughts/questions to mind, please comment!.


This task is about introducing functionality and/or information to Special:Topic Subscriptions (T273342) that makes it easier for people to find locate conversation(s) they subscribed to.

User story

  • As someone who is wanting to reference a discussion(s) I subscribed to, I want to be able to "efficiently" browse/search all of the discussions I'm subscribed to, so that I can locate the discussion(s) I am wanting to reference without having to remember their specific name(s).

Approaches

Some ideas...

The patch above adds "first subscribed" and "latest notification" dates to the table.

The other metadata in the task description could possibly be extracted from the comment metadata table we are building for permalinks.
