TBH - this could've come out much worse - and we'll be able to give feedback during development (meaning we have more time to comment on stuff we don't like before dev time is spent on it and it's too much of an investment for Wikia to undo something)

I need to see more details on how the page is going to work (ideally I'd like to set a header up for users to read before giving me messages, quite a lot of other users also do that). Jazzi's point on updating links is another problem that needs to be solved, I don't like the "old messages will be archived" bit. I hope this doesn't mess up watchlist emails when I'm watching another user's talkpage. I hope it's not like the messaging feature on the old socialprofile (which nobody used). I'd also like to see a preview button, because talk pages are often used to ask for help with wikitext, etc. I'd like to see exactly how it works on monobook. So, I'm reserving judgement on this.

User talk pages are too big a feature to mess up, but I think Wikia realises that. One thing I have realised in the past year is that people on Wikia hate change in any form - and this devalues the feedback we give when we really don't like something, as any change that happens is hated on by a number of users.
