Navigating thread history from Special:NewMessages is tedious at the moment, and different from clicking the 'history' link on a regular talk page. I guess this could be resolved by having a thread history link 'lqt_hist_view_whole_thread' in the page subtitle in step (full thread view)[2] as is present on [3]. Example: * Click "You have new messages." -> Special:NewMessages[1] * Click "Full thread" -> Full thread is displayed[2] * Click "View history" -> -> action=history, displays only when thread was created[3] * Click "View history for the entire thread" -> Full thread history is displayed[4] [1] http://prototype.wikimedia.org/sandbox.3/Special:NewMessages [2] http://prototype.wikimedia.org/sandbox.3/Thread:Talk:Main_Page/Starting_a_new_discussion_about.... [3] http://prototype.wikimedia.org/s-3/index.php?title=Thread:Talk:Main_Page/Starting_a_new_discussion_about....&action=history [4] http://prototype.wikimedia.org/s-3/index.php?title=Thread:Talk:Main_Page/Starting_a_new_discussion_about....&lqt_method=thread_history
Works for me, the "History" link in the header of the thread links to the full thread history page.
