The structure of discussions is different: a talk page (a <i>Board</i>) is now an aggregation of <i>Topics</i> and each topic is independent and can be watched separately. Structured Discussions allows a user to choose which topics they want to watch; not a whole page anymore.</p> <p>New topics are added at the top of the page. Topics can be sorted by time of creation or time of last activity. Structured Discussions allows people to discuss by <a href="https://www-mediawiki-org.translate.goog/wiki/Help:Structured_Discussions/Quick_tour?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#basics">using both the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor</a>.</p> <p>Action buttons (reply, thanks) are connected to each answer, ready to be used.
