=== Rationale ===
T233443 contains the overarching rationale for why this feature is prioritized.
V2.0 – is intended to enhance the user experience of the basic reply functionality to make it easier and intuitive for Junior Contributors to **draft** and **publish** their comments.
=== User stories ===
//As a contributor I can...//
- Adjust the size of the text input area
- Opt-in/out of watching the talk page before posting my reply
- Edit a reply I've posted without having to navigate to a separate view (T242562)
- Pre-populate reply with @ mentions of person who authored the comment you are responding to
- Format the text within my comment without needing to know about or use wikitext
- Switch between "rich text" and "source" writing modes without losing any of what I've already drafted
- Preview how the comment I am writing will be displayed once it is published on the talk page
- Intuitively "@ mention" a specific contributor (T232601)
- See how the comment I am drafting relates to the comment I am responding to
