Talk page overlay lead section
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently we make the lead section of a talk page accessible under the heading "Unnamed discussion".

On a lot of pages this is used as guidelines for contributing to the talk page and tell you how to do things such as signing pages (which is done automatically)

Let's stop showing this as it is confusing since the talk page overlay is so limited in its interface and is supposed to be an abstraction of the normal talk page interface.

I think we should just remove the lead section in this mode. Let's add a link at the bottom of the overlay to view the talk page at Talk:ArticleName.
