This task involves the work with extending the existing DiscussionTools API(s) in way(s) that enable developers to access to the discussion metadata [Usability Improvements](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_project/Usability) introduces.
=== Story
- As someone who is **responsible for a bot** that helps volunteers track the activity happening withing discussions, I'd value the ability to directly access the activity data DiscussionTools computes/tracks, so that I do not need to duplicate computation that is already being done upstream/elsewhere.
=== Use Cases
- Show the following pieces of information about the discussions that have taken place on an arbitrary page, as is [done on hu.wiki here](https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Kocsmafal_(m%C5%B1szaki)/Tartalomjegyz%C3%A9k):
-- The title of the discussion
-- The date the discussion was started
-- The date of the last edit that was made to the discussion
-- The number of comments within the discussion
-- The size, as measured in bytes, of the discussion
