PROPOSED SCOPE REVISION
Per the conversation the Editing Team had offline today, we're considering [i] revising the scope of this initial Page Frame deployment to exclude the revised appearance and placement of the Add Topic button T267444 introduces.

We're considering revising the scope for two reasons:

  1. Implementing T267444 depends on T326572, the latter of which requires input from the Web Team who is not available within the next 1-2 weeks given all they are responsible for related to the deployment of Vector (2022) to en.wiki
  2. We do not currently think [i] the absence of T267444 will take away from the benefits we expect people to glean from the other three changes that this deployment will end up being made up of:
    • A) A visual space between the "namespace" and "page" name portion of a talk page's title
    • B) An indicator that describes, and links to, the latest comment published on a given talk page
    • C) Information within the table of contents about the number of comments within each section

The screenshot below illustrates the three features above; you can also experience the features live by visiting a wikitext talk page on mediawiki.org (e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_project/Usability#Phase_3:_Framing_context)

i. The decision to finalize the scope changes described above depends on @nayoub reviewing them.

The revised scope looks great – I don't imagine the absence of T267444 having an impact on this initial deployment of Page Frame.

Excellent.

With @nayoub commenting the above, we can commit to a deployment date for next week: Tuesday, 17 January 2023.
