Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions

Hi. Suppose someone wrote something like this:

---

Hi. I need help with wiki markup, I think it needs me to install Notepad.exe. --Foo~~~~~

Hello. What happens when you try to install Notepad.exe? --Bar~~~~

It is not compatible with my mobile platform. --Foo~~~~~

---

Now, I'd like to ask 2 questions. First, I'd like to notify (in response to the first line) that there is no need in notepad. Second, I'd like to reply to a third line and ask what mobile platform the folk's using. Typically that's possible in one edit, but I feel that Flow treats them as separate.

---

Also, I may want to create 2 topics at once. Previously this was doable by clicking ?action=edit&section=new, and typing an extra headline:

Subject: Foo
Content:

Foooooo! --~~~
== Bar ==
Bar~ --~~~

---

On a bigger scale, I may even click edit on a village pump and reply to all questions (this means multiple threads) in one edit. It is convenient, while not at all possible with Flow. I typically do this for my own convenience (how this decreases edit count is quite another question).

---

Please consider this challenging query. It's probably not even possible to resolve, and bears purely rhetorical nature. Or is it doable? :-)

I would like improvements in this area too (but it seems flow allows one to click in reply for multiple comments in the same page, and save them separately - but without reloading the page)

This seems directly related to the ability to refactor the comments of others. Both could use the same interface.
