This task is about creating mockups for the first iteration of the new topic subscriptions feature (T269950).
Use cases
Primary
- As a Senior Contributor who is watching many pages across Wikipedia namespaces, I want to be made aware when another person adds a new comment in a conversation I am interested in, so that I can decide whether it is necessary/worthwhile for me to respond.
- As a Senior Contributor who is interested in a particular conversation that is happening on a busy talk page, I want to be made aware when another person adds a new comment in said conversation, so that I can decide whether it is necessary/worthwhile for me to respond.
Secondary
- As a Junior Contributor who is interested in a particular conversation that is happening on a talk page, I want to be made aware when another person adds a new comment in said conversation, so that I can follow how the conversation unfolds.
Mockups
This section will contain designs for the entire topic subscription workflow – from subscribing to replying – on mobile and desktop.
Feedback
- Senior Contributors: once these mockups are created, we will seek Senior Contributors' feedback in T275232.
- Junior Contributors: TBD whether we will seek Junior Contributors' feedback at this stage or once we have a functional prototype for them to try.
Done
- Designs illustrating the topic subscription workflow, on mobile and desktop, are added to the ===Mockups section above.
