Description
We are moving the table of contents to the side of the article text, and making it sticky (i.e. it stays in place as your scroll down the page). Currently our plan is to only do this for pages in the main namespace. Assuming people frequently go from article pages talk pages, it might make sense to consider the transition between article and talk, in particular thinking about the visual balance/layout of the page as major elements shift around.
NOTE: this is a similar task as T294950, but it's about talk pages instead of edit mode
Questions to answer
Do we want to show the table of contents on Talk pages?
If yes:
- what are the technical, design, and product considerations we need to think through?
If no:
- what do we prefer?
- that space is empty
- re-center page
- don't re-recenter page
- that space is occupied by some other element
- that space is used to display the page full-width
- that space is empty

|---|---|---|
| article > talk, with toc |  | |
| article > talk, without toc |  | |
| article > talk, without toc, wide screen |  | I think it makes less of a difference at larger widths because the content is centered, so the gap left by the toc feels less noticeable |
