New editor experience of AFD
Post to Village pump (policy)
 * {| border=1; cellpadding=5

The standard AFD banner attached to the article starts something like this (faked so the bot does not get excited):
 * + Article for Deletion is too aggressive




 * bgcolor=#b32424 |
 * This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.
 * Please share your thoughts on the matter at this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page.
 * Feel free to improve the article, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, ...
 * Please share your thoughts on the matter at this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page.
 * Feel free to improve the article, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, ...


 * }

The red bar and the headline This article is being considered for deletion... implies that the default action and the motivation for the banner is just to delete the article.

While established editors may know what the AFD process is trying to do and point out the word considered, the new editor can easily see that their shiny new article has had a "Not worthy! Delete it!" message stuck on it.

We should change the AFD template to be less aggressive.

We could even change the "article for deletion" branding to be something like "article needing improvement" - where the implied default is that the article will be improved. Expect push-back along lines of "Editors need to get over it", "If they don't like it, they can always leave".

Talk pages
Richer talk pages. Allowing replies to reference a specific post etc. Pending changes would probably kill TalkHelper
 * Replying to specific comments
 * Parser support for talk pages. Includes stuff on sig micro-formats
