This task involves the work with introduce an API or service of some kind that enables interfaces to show people the last time a specific section was edited.
Story
As an experienced volunteer who is reading a talk page that contains sections without discussion content [i], I want to be able to see the last time said section(s) were edited, so that I can decide whether anything about said section(s) has changed since the last time I visited the page.
- Note: the Editing Team anticipates volunteers' need/desire for the above to become more pronounced once Topic Containers are introduced (T269950) which will show people viewing talk pages metadata about discussions (eg. the last time a new comment was published, the number of people in the discussion, the number of comments that have been published in the discussions).
