reply to #2 Correction: The "gp" and "gphelp" interwiki prefixes are only here on Community Central. So other wikis need to use "w:gp" or "w:gphelp:w". - reply to #29 My comment and the replies can be found here. - Here are my questions about the new user profile which includes the new message walls. Not everything has been answered yet but supposedly they will be as answers are available. - Edit:

Q: Will there be a change to how the new profile tabs function? A: No. There are updates for the pages but the tabs themselves will work more or less the same.

Q: Will there still be Special:Contributions? A: Yes. The page will still be there. However, as mentioned, the tab is getting a rename and the page will display Discussion posts in addition to wiki edits.

Q: Will global edit and Discussion post counts be displayed in the new user masthead? A: The number of Discussion posts will be displayed but global edits is not part of the current version.

Q: Are there going to be any feature difference between the new message walls and Discussions? Will they receive the same updates at the same time? A: No. Updates will not happen at the same time. However, the new message walls should receive timely updates.

Q: Will you be able to view individual threads for the new message walls; like you can for Discussions? A: Not yet and there is currently no plan for this.

Q: Are the new avatars replacing or being added to the current ones? A: The new avatars will be replacing the current ones as choices. However, those who are currently using a default avatar may continue to use that avatar as long as they don't change avatars.
