Why are we doing this?

We currently do not support any native talk pages on iOS but are working on updating article talk as well as user talk pages to give contributors and readers native and more usable pages.

Audience story

As a contributor/reader I need useable and platform appropriate ways to use user talk pages

Relevant information

Header

• Will not include any images
• Copy
  • ‘USER TALK’ present on each user talk page.
  • Next: [ Username ]
  • Next: Icon: representing what project the person is on
  • Next: a language tag, indicating which wiki they are on

Empty state

• Has the same illustration as the article talk empty state, which can be found T310275
• Copy
  • Title: ‘Start a discussion with [username]’
  • Next: Talk pages are where people discuss how to make content on Wikipedia the best that it can be. Start a new discussion to connect and collaborate with Elmo. What you say here will be public for others to see.
  • Next: Button: ‘Start a discussion'

Topics

• Same as on article talk found in T310275 (slide 4)

Extra information above topics
*Has similarities with coffee roll found on article talk in T310275 (slide 4)

• Sometimes user talk pages have extra information located above the topics.
• The information will be displayed right under the header.
• The content will be displayed in a white card.
• The text will be truncated after 2 lines.
• There will be a ‘Read more’ button for people to tap to see all of the content.
  • Tapping on ‘Read more’ will show all of the content in a separate page.

Subscribe to topic
*only available for logged in contributors

• Same as on article talk found in T310275 (slide 8)

Threading

• Same as on article talk found in T310279 (slide 5)

Find in page

• Same as on article talk found in T310288 (slide 6)

Overflow menu

• The options in the more menu are the same as one that can be found on the mobile web user page.
• Options include:
  • ‘Contributions’ - links to those users contributions page
  • ‘User groups’ - links to the ‘User groups management’ which is a ‘Special:UserRights/[username]’
  • ‘Logs’ - links to ‘All public logs’ of the user.
  • ‘Page information’ - takes you to the appropriate external link.
  • ‘Permanent link’ - takes you to the appropriate external link.
  • ‘What links here’ - takes you to the appropriate external link.
  • ? ‘About user talk page ’ - takes you to a new page/modal. There will be a quick summary of the purpose of user talk pages and what they won’t include in V1.

Add a comment

• Copy:
  • Title: User talk pages
  • Next: Talk pages are where people discuss how to make content on Wikipedia the best that it can be. Start a new discussion to connect and collaborate with Elmo. What you say here will be public for others to see. Please be kind, we are all humans here.
