This ticket represents requirements for the initial approach we take to editing specific comments as well as the work involved with implementing it.
=== Requirements
//⚠️This list is still evolving//
The following requirements. should be implemented for use by contributors to **all Wikipedia talk pages** on **desktop web**
- Contributors will only be able to see the edit affordance on comments they have written
--- //Technically, contributors will only be able to see the edit affordance next to comments signed with the username they are logged in with//
- Contributors will not see an indication that a specific comment has been edited on the talk page (e.g. there will be no "edited" indication as there is on Slack for example)
- Contributors should //not// be able to edit their signature, regardless of the edit mode (`source` or `visual`) they are using.
=== Open questions
- [ ] How should notifications behave when a contributor @ mentions someone new while editing their comment. //See this comment for context: T246245#5976962//
- [ ] Should edited comments have a dedicated change tag associated with them? T273611 via @Patriccck.//
=== Done
- [ ] The "Open questions" above have been answered
- [ ] The "Requirements" above have been implemented
