In October the team launched a survey to learn about the desires of experienced users for their talk pages experience in the Android app. We specifically surfaced the survey in the app to English Wikipedia talk page users in Nigeria and India, Arabic and French Wikipedia talk page users in DR Congo, Mali, Morocco and Egypt, as well as Japanese Wikipedia editors and Hindi Wikipedia Editors and received responses from 54 participants. The full results can be found at the bottom of the protocol page. The key takeaways from this survey was that users believe talk pages need better onboarding and education on how to use them and the distinction between article and user talk pages. There were requests for comprehensive communication flows when edit changes occur, and easier ways for users to seek assistance. Users requested an ability to share talk pages, which has been implemented in T295808. The lack of talk page discoverability in the article view was further highlighted in this survey. Respondents to the survey expressed the importance of encouraging users to review an article talk page when making an edit. It was highlighted that users involved in a talk page message should be pinged when someone has replied to them, which doesn't currently happen unless the user replying puts in the ping command for the user they would like to reach. Further, positive reinforcement and support for deleting and archiving messages that are no longer relevant were also surfaced as desired features.
