Topic on Talk:Talk pages project/Flow

As I understand it, Structured discussions can currently be enabled per page. Discussion tools, in contrast, is implemented as an opt-in view for each user. Is there any way to make Discussion tools effective per page instead of per user?

If the user has not enabled the beta feature, then there's no way to make them see the new tools.

If you don't see the tools despite enabling the beta feature, you probably can add the __NEWSECTIONLINK__ magic word to the page. In MediaWiki it adds the "Add topic" tab next to the "Edit" tab, and we use it as a hint that the page is a discussion page and should have the tools.

Also, each wiki can be configured so that the tools are opt-out instead of a beta feature. You could get that done if you want everyone to see the tools.

If you are sending people to a particular page, then you could change the link they're using, e.g., to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Diskussion:Kurier?dtenable=1

I have indeed done just that, thank you! I discovered that query string solution buried in a Phabricator ticket.
