===Why are we doing this?
The intention is to make talk pages less overwhelming, informative, and more timely (help contributors identify recent discussions). Each topic is broken down into a cell that shows information like the title, an overview of the first comment, the timestamp, and how many people are participating in the discussion. This type of summary page for talk pages can be reutilized for user talk pages.
===Audience story
As a contributor/reader, I want to be sure what kind of talk page I land on.

* Each topic is shown as a separate cell that will always have the same height, and it includes:
* Subscribe icon and button (only visible to those who are logged in)
* 2 line-height title, after that it truncates
* Timestamp
* 3 line-height preview of the first comment, after that it truncates
* Avatar icon & the number of contributors; speech bubble icon & the number of comments
* Tapping anywhere on the cell triggers the cell to open and reveal the whole thread.

Article talk pages can be accessed through:
* Notification center
* The contributor will tap on a new talk page message, and then tap on ‘View comment’ from the detail page view.
* Once ‘View comment’ is tapped, the topic inside of which the new comment is located will uncollapse. The contributor will be taken to the correct part of the thread where the comment is located to prevent them from scrolling to find the comment.
* Article page
* Accessed by tapping on the ‘View talk page’ at the bottom of any article.
