This task involves the work of creating a functional prototype that volunteers can use to evaluate the Topic Container design the Editing Team is considering implementing on desktop.
=== Story
As someone who is interested in knowing, and sharing feedback about, how the appearance of Talk Pages is evolving, I'd like to be able to interact with the in-progress designs, so that I can simulate the experience of using them in my regular wiki-work and shar*e feedback about them.
=== Requirements
**Meta**
- Platforms: **Desktop**
- Localization: **two patch demo instances will need to be created**
-- One patch demo instance will need to be configured for RTL languages and another for LTR languages
- ~~Configurability: Volunteers ought to be able to switch between the various Topic Container concepts (currently there are two) on the same prototype.~~ // More context in `===Open question(s)` below.//
**User experience**
//Requirements are currently located within T269950.//
NOTE: The Desktop Topic Container prototype will NOT contain an overflow menu whereas the MOBILE Topic Container prototype will contain an overflow menu. //More in T269950#7740111.//
=== Designs
Mobile:
//Work to implement Topic Containers on mobile is now happening in T303362 per T301139#7762713.//
Desktop:

=== Open question(s)
- [x] 1. Are the design concepts posted in `===Design` similar enough to be implemented on a single patch demo instance such that volunteers can "toggle" between them without having to visit a new link in a new browser tab?
-- To start, we will be showing one version of the Topic Container Prototype making the need for this "toggle" obsolete.
- [ ] 2. What tweaks need to be made to the //desktop// prototype (https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/71c861c74e) before T302120 can begin?
-- [ ] [PP] Remove section collapsing considering this is not functionality we will be offering in the initial version.
=== Done
- [ ] Link(s) to localized Topic Container prototype(s) are added documented in the `===Prototype` section above
