This epic represents the work of making talk pages easier to understand. Where "easier to understand" encompasses the following: - **Activity:** make it easier for people to identify and understand new activity on a talk page (e.g. new comments since "you" last visited). - **Actions:** make it easier for people to identify and understand the core actions on talk pages (e.g. starting new conversations, replying in existing ones, receiving updates about conversations that are relevant to you). - **Content:** Making it easier for people to understand what is being talked about on talk pages. We think making the following elements easier for people to identify/distinguish will contribute to this "understanding": -- Comments -- Authors of comments -- The relationships between comments -- Conversations === Reported issues //In the future, the issues below will likely become individual tasks. For now, we will gather all issues here.// **It can be difficult to understand how comments relate to one another.** - As @samat puts it, //"...on community discussion pages one section can be several pages long, and if somebody answers to the first person, their answer will be sooo far, that nobody can find out that it is an answer for the first person."// [1] --- 1. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Vjxycppfwer4qmrm&topic_showPostId=vk53kim40u3prxze#flow-post-vk53kim40u3prxze
