Hello the feature exist as a beta feature that can be enabled. It was enabled I don't even remember since when and now I deactivated and activated again a couple of times but nothing seems to change. Anybody knows whats going on? My talk page on Greek wikipedia.
Thanks!
I jumped in to repair the talk page itself, however someone should investigate what went wrong.
On 7 April 2020, the Flow talk page manager archived the page. I assume(?) this was initiated by the user opting-in to Flow.
On 30 April 2020, the Flow talk page manager de-archived the page. I assume(?) this was initiated by the user opting-out of Flow.
Possibly relevant clue(?): The Welcome template that was on the talk page is normally supposed to be substed but it wasn't. The Flow talk page manager left the Welcome template intact, and each time it added a subst version.
I did not opt-out of flow on April 30th. This happened without me doing anything (at least not knowingly). -- Discostu (talk) 07:38, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
As I am using StructeredDecisions on a smaller Wiki, I would like to see the most recent discussions in some sort of list linking to the respective pages (more lik a forum/table view). Did somebody already program something similar?
My talk page for zhwiki broke with this exception. Where should I report this? I see that there is a ticket on Phabricator; should I have reported there instead?
On which wiki?
If you've got it enabled as a beta feature, disabling it there should remove the StructuredDiscussions system from your talk page.
On a wiki like this one where it's enabled by default, you instead need to go to Special:ChangeContentModel and change the content model of the blank page to "wikitext".
I meant this wiki. I know changing content model is restricted to administrators here. Yes, I want the same feeling as on Ciencia Al Poder's talk page.
Oh, right, this wiki. You should have asked on Project:Current issues. :-) Done.
Seems like user's talk page on zh.wiki has been converted back to flow.
Is it possible search across discussion topics? Either using MediaWiki search functionality or by installing Google search on MediaWiki installation?
I'm pretty sure it's possible with CirrusSearch. I don't know how one does that though. Maybe through enabling search on the Topic namespace?
Flow does not work with SQLite, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138316
How important is the recommended version of SQLite for a successful installation of Echo and Structured Discussions?
I encountered issues installing Structured discussions and its dependencies the errors I encountered include updating the database schema.
I am trying to successfully install structured Discussions and its dependencies?
AFAICT we don't test either of these extensions with SQLite, so I'm not sure if they should work or not. Can you post the errors you encountered?
I haven't tested this yet @KHarlan (WMF) i will do and record the errors. any suggestions on the MW version i should install is it worth installing the unstable master versions? @AlgorithmGG
@AlgoLove looks like the same issue as task T138316, so I don't think it's going to work for you with SQLite, sorry.
Already done by local sysops
It appears to be a problem that affects many wikis. For now, please find a local admin for help.
Someone might have already been investigating into it as mentioned in Topic:V07cu3uqwdg5ags1. I will try to find whether there are phab tasks related to this. If not, I will file one later.
Hi, I just changed my username and I created a new talk page (el:Συζήτηση χρήστη:George62tv), but in my old username page (el:Συζήτηση χρήστη:George754) the messages are still there, and I also coudn't move the page.
Is there any way that can get the two pages merged, or even disable the old one?
Thanks.
It is possible to rename the page. I can assist you.
Beforehand, you need to delete the following redirects:
You also have to delete Συζήτηση χρήστη:George62tv. Then, I can move the page. :)
I removed the redirects, but how can I delete the page, as I am not an admin?
An admin has to literally delete all those pages. Don't you have a page to request deletions on your wiki?
Ι requested the deletion of the pages, so I will inform you when they will be deleted.
Thanks again!
They deleted these two pages only:
I don't know why they didn't delete the other three pages.
I don't know if there is a bug or not, but for some reason my talk page is linked to the category "Pages for quick deletion" (Greek: Σελίδες για γρήγορη διαγραφή) and I can't remove it. Can you do something or only the admins in greek wikipedia can?
I disabled structured discussion (temporarily) because the admins deleted the page again, as they thought it was for deletion. So, before you have a look, tell me to enable it again.
