As a third-party MediaWiki tarball user, I'm slightly annoyed because RationalWIki took on LQT originally because WMF made it sound like it was definitely the future yep no worries. As the current sysadmin I desperately would love to set LQT on fire and put it in a bin and was hoping Flow would be the supported option. Bah, how annoying ... Did the stuff to port LQT threads/pages to Flow ever make it to production quality? OTOH, the problems outlined in this message are pretty much exactly what experienced Wikipedia users said when Flow was started - you need to be able to cut'n'paste slabs of wikitext (or parsoid HTML5 or whatever VE actually copies to the clipboard) from the article to the talk page, which means something VEish on talk too. Talk pages are indeed an utter nightmare for usability. If I had a plausible answer I'd be posting it. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
