This task involves the work of enabling people to use the metadata that appears within Topic Containers to see the latest comment posted in a particular discussion.

This implementation would largely mirror the experience we designed and implemented for the "latest comment indicator" that appears beneath the talk page's title. See T299814.

User Story

• When I happen upon a discussion that is of interest to me, I want to be able to quickly see what the most recent thing someone has said in this discussion is, so that I can assess the current state of the discussion and decide whether I will say something myself.

Requirements

These requirements are borrowed from the latest comment indicator that will appear beneath the talk page's title that we designed in T299814.

Meta

• Platforms: mobile and desktop
• Skins(s): T306730

User Experience

• The absolute or relative date that appears after/follows the Last comment: label within the Topic Container appears clickable/tappable
• When someone clicks/taps the absolute or relative date, the page they are viewing will be scrolled such that:
  • The comment that has been posted most recently:
    • Appears "focused" within the person's viewport
    • Is highlighted

Testing

Will be deployed to beta cluster. Enable DiscussionTools beta feature, and the visual enhancements in editing preferences.
