New editors were more successful with this new tool.

The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.

high-use non-documentation

re your [89]: no, there is no "belongs here" ground. As I wrote in the es, the template protection serves the warnings &tc. The article editor is here to find documentation on usage, not template-edit-manuals or -warnings. Also, note that these warnings are (1) known to the editor with WP:TPE-rights (of course), and are listed well when opening the view source page. So please remove the template. DePiep (talk) 08:42, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

You just had that discussion here: Template_talk:Infobox_musical_artist#High_use/risk_warning_in_doc. Stop removing banners. Christian75 (talk) 08:46, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Yes. Consistently: not needed in there, same arguments I mentioned here. You have not replied to my arguments. -DePiep (talk) 09:23, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Here are some arguments which you just had with user:User: Paine Ellsworth [90], and from the same discussion - again from Paine Ellsworth - "Again, high use is not connected to any protection level. It is placed to inform ALL editors of the high use/risk of such templates. If a non-TE wants to edit a high use page, they will be more careful with their edit requests if they KNOW that a template is high use. They don't have to be a template editor to be informed of this, so please don't revert its usage again.". Ohh I see. It is the third time since April you have removed it ([91], [92] and [93]). Christian75 (talk) 10:07, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
You don't have to repeat my own arguments (aka: 'speak for yourself'). You are supposed to engage, argue, draw conclusions (even changed ones). -DePiep (talk) 10:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
