Talk:Structured Discussions/Flow

Structured discussions (Flow) is used on this page (documentation).

Please test at Structured Discussions/Sandbox; this page is for discussions and suggestions.

You can leave your message in any language, but answers will be made in English (or your language if we speak it).

Starting November 2023, communities are progressively encouraged to archive existing Structured Discussions pages.

Older comments can be found at Talk:Flow Portal/Archive2. See also Extension talk:StructuredDiscussions.

Did anybody consider locking the topic automatically after summarizing? It makes sense to me that the two actions should go together.

Or at least indicate somehow that the topic has been summarized.

Meh.. I'm stopping fixing the mess VE is doing with my messages. Sorry for that.

Hi - now that SD is essentially deprecated, is there any plan to do a mass conversion of SD-based talk pages on mediawiki.org (like this one) to wikitext, whether soon or in the future? I believe there's a script in the extension that can do that.

Hi

No formal plans yet on running a script (that needs to be improved), but we are progressively contacting the main communities using it in order to know how these converted pages should look like in the end.

I will soon start a proper conversation at mediawikiwiki.

Is it possible to add discussion tools to Structured Discussions on a mobile phone (add a link, mention a person...) like on a desktop?

Hi. Keeps saying my IP address is blocked. I have never even been on this page let alone edit something. I’m very confused. I can barely use a flip phone. Can someone help me out please. Someone has been hacking my stuff for years and I’m just finding out about it. It showed me a page to edit but I have no idea what the heck all this is

Your IP address is part of an active range block placed on the English language Wikipedia for disruptive editing, which is set to expire in September. If you cannot appeal on your user talk page at that project, please see UTRS for instructions.

Hello @Flow talk page manager,

I would like to know the reason for moving my user page Discussion utilisatrice:Jade éternelle to Discussion utilisatrice:Jade éternelle/Structured Discussions Archive 1.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Best regards.

That account is a bot and will not respond. The summary of the move contains the reason why. My French is rusty, but the gist is that it was moved (archived) to allow using a regular wikitext talk page.

French Wikiversity has Flow as a BetaFeature; did you disable it? (Or is it disabled? If so, re-enabling it should change it back, but the old page will still remain archived. If that is not what you want, contact a local administrator to move your talk page.)

Thanks for your answer, and thank you for the information that this account is a bot and won’t respond. I will follow your advice to contact an administrator instead to solve my problem. Have a good evening. Best regards.

Hi! Are those templates still needed or can be removed?

If there are no transclusions, you can go ahead and delete them. If there are transclusions, you can {{subst}} them before deleting the templates.

no transclusions detected so I deleted them. thank you!

Hi :-)

I really like how the discussion page for this project uses the StructuredDiscussions interface. Is there some documentation on how to implement that?

Kind regards

We asked the help of an administrator, and he found a solution by moving my page.

Hello,

When I have rencently tried to disable the structured discussions option in my preferences, the message "Fatal exception of type Flow\Exception\InvalidDataException" has appeared. If anyone can help me to find a solution,

Thanks you in advance!

My discussion page

Fixed (template removed).

At https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Citoid, there is a notice at the top of the page asking me to comment on the "new" Flow tool "over he coming months". Can this be removed, unless the discussion is actually being reopened?

I'm apparently not allowed to fix myself:

"This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Block editing board descriptions for project and help pages" HLHJ (talk) 19:12, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Resolved via AbuseFilter extension.

Hi! I noticed that there some users who spam and Structured Discussions pages making links to their websites. How can I prevent them doing this using AbuseFilter extension?

For structured discussions you'll need separate/duplicate filters with the Filter group set to flow (or whatever you set $wgFlowAbuseFilterGroup to).
