Change Details

The orange "You have new messages" talkpage-message Notification, currently leads just to the top of the user talkpage. (Ie. [User talk:Quiddity]) It should lead to either: * the subsection (if known, and if there's just one new message), or * to the diff (if subsection is unknown, or if there are multiple new talkpage messages). One user has requested that it *always* lead to the diff, which /would/ be more consistent, but I also understand the desire to not confront everyone with a diff (VE, newcomer friendliness, etcetc). ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notifications#Two_clicks_instead_of_one:_Why.3F )

==== Problem The orange "You have new messages" talkpage-message Notification, currently leads just to the top of the user's Talk page. (Ie. [User talk:Quiddity]) This is potentially confusing and makes it harder for users to locate the new message. {F26220991} ==== Proposed solution * Tapping on "new messages" should take the user to the specific subsection (if known, and if there's just one new message); and * Append the message with a "(view changes)" link which takes the user to the diff (if subsection is unknown, or if there are multiple new talkpage messages). (Note: This essentially follows the same message format as shown to users of the gadget to "Display a floating alert for new talk page messages" (link to [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets | gadget on enwiki ]]) // One user has requested that it *always* lead to the diff, which /would/ be more consistent, but I also understand the desire to not confront everyone with a diff (VE, newcomer friendliness, etc etc).
