--- Comment #10 from Luke Welling <[email protected]> ---
I was referring to the request to cater to new users receiving their first talk
page message, and the request to give more advanced users single click access
to a diff to see what happened.

New users can do without history and diffs for the first few communications on
their talk pages.  They will generally be a new section either welcoming them,
or telling them off.  For those users, a link to that new section is the least
confusing, and best formatted interface.

For users participating in more complex discussions, they are going to need to
view histories and diffs to figure things out, but being sent directly to that
is going to intimidate new users.

The need for new user consideration and the need to experience user navigation
efficiency are in opposition. I'm just pointing out that as with many requests,
we should not simply queue and satisfy the request when time allows.  It comes
at a cost for other users, so some design should go into a compromise.
