Talk pages project/Usability/Prototype/Topic Containers



Welcome!

This page has instructions for testing desktop and mobile prototypes for a new part of the Talk pages project. This new project changes the ==Section headings== on talk pages.

Goals:


 * 1) People who are new to editing quickly recognize that talk pages are places to communicate with other volunteers.
 * 2) People who are experienced with editing can quickly find the conversations they want to join.
