This task represents the work involved with creating a design brief for the improvements we are proposing to make to the existing workflow for starting a new discussion on Wikipedia talk pages, across namespaces. --- === Design brief components //The design brief will contain the following components:// - **Target audience:** //whose needs is this feature intended to address?// - **Target's motivations/goals:** //what are these people trying to accomplish?// - **Issues:** //what issues do people encounter when trying to complete these goals?// - **Use cases:** //in what scenarios do we anticipate people using this workflow?// - **Recommendations:** //what improvements should we consider to resolve the issues with the current experience?// - **Constraints:** //what constraints (legal, technical, social, etc.) must the proposed design respect/honor?// - **Comparative review:** //what design patterns might we borrow?// (E.g. Phabricator, Github, Gitlab, Flow, other Wikipedias [1]) -- //See T249784 for design patterns that exist elsewhere on Wikipedia.// === Done - [ ] A design containing the "Design brief components" above has been created --- 1. **Other Wikipedias:** for example, on the French Wikipedia's wikitext talk pages, there is an "Ajouter un sujet" link at the bottom of each talk page to help people more easily start conversations regardless of where they are on the talk page.

On Dutch Wikipedia, such a link ("kopje toevoegen", or actually {int:vector-action-addsection}, lowercased) is added next to the last section's edit link; integrates well in the UI, but not the most intuitive spot, inconvenient when the last section is long.
