Flow/Old Use Cases

User talk namespace
User talk page activity on English Wikipedia tends to fall into two basic buckets:


 * 1) New users generally receive template warnings, to which they very rarely reply.
 * 2) Experienced users generally receive free-form messages about content creation/editing, to which they reply again and again, creating long discussion threads.



The following is a high-level list of all the possible kinds of edits that can happen on user talk pages on English Wikipedia. Please feel free to add use cases that were missed!
