Nice replacements overall. Like many, I'm a bit sad to see wikitext in Messages go, but Talk pages or Sandboxes should work just as fine.

I think talk pages could be greatly improved with mw:Extension:StructuredDiscussions (or a likewise feature), which should be fully compatible with the UCP. Especially if it's up to admins to decide whether to activate them or not (via Special:WikiFeatures). It would probably also reduce a bit of the mourn here, if implementated correctly with notifications and all... After all, they use wikitext afaik. I just hope that this will be considered.

There are two questions I still have:
 * On the Activity → Edits tab, there are no "filters" for finding contributions e.g. to pages in a specific namespace on a specific date. Will there still be options to limit the contributions that will be shown to specific parameters?
 * With Discussions (and new Message Walls, Forums, etc.) running on a different code, not core MediaWiki, will it be possible to enable/disable wiki editing and commenting pages/using Discussions (in case they will become accessible to anonymous users, too) separately?

Curious about and looking forward to what's next!
