I disagree; it's not unusual for talk pages to have very extensive conversations going. The diff really makes a huge difference, to the point that I'm ignoring the system and going straight to page histories instead of using anything you're providing. It is even more important in the email messages, because users may have multiple wikis from which they are receiving notifications (as I discovered tonight). Links to just the user talk page are unhelpful, even for newbies. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
