T273473 introduces an evolved version of the table of contents that will //initially// appear within the main namespace.
T294784 seeks to define how this new "incarnation" of the table contents could function in the talk namespace.
This task involves the work with deciding whether the Editing Team will prioritize introducing the table of content within the talk namespace as part of the work they are doing in T249579 to make it easier for people to:
- **Recognize** talk pages as space to communicate with other people
- **Identify** and understand the conversations happening on talk pages
- **Know** what to do to participate on talk pages
=== Question(s) to answer
- [ ] Will the Editing Team prioritize work on introducing the evolved version of the table of contents page as part of the Usability Improvements phase of the Talk Pages Project (T249579)?

2. Visit a talk page that contains ongoing discussions (e.g. [ja:Coffee](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8E%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88:%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%92%E3%83%BC?useskinversion=2))
