This task is an effort to organize ideas to increase peoples' awareness of, and participation in, the discussions that shape the content they read on Wikipedia and the upstream guidelines/policies/cultural conventions/etc. that ultimately determine how this content is written.

|Idea|Description|Ticket
|---|---|---
|1.| Expose the number of conversations happening on a talk page somewhere on the article/user/template/etc. page to which the talk page is attached. //We might consider adding this kind of metadata to the Sticky Header the Web Team is introducing (T283505). More context in [Sticky Header Review Notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/13xpJsfQadPTjQY780MZ6DXIz-u8f6YvkRFDvne39y8E/edit#bookmark=id.n810skjnn59g).//|
|2.| Consider revising the `Talk` link that appears when viewing subject pages to be more action-oriented. //E.g. something like "Suggest an improvement" per the feedback [@Wugapodes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wugapodes) shared [at en.wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)&diff=1042106616&oldid=1042062974&diffmode=source).//|
|3. |Introduce a way to start a new discussion directly from a diff.| T287833
|4. |Introduce a workflow for starting a new discussion about a specific change from within the page's history|
=== Background
- People not experienced with editing Wikipedia have low awareness of talk pages, and the conversations that happen within them, that shape the content they read on Wikipedia.
