Hi,
My user name is in Hebrew, since he.wiki is my main project. I changed my signature to an English one in all the other wikis I'm working on. Will this be supported in flow, or will only my user name be displayed?
Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions
I guess it's the latter. Can anyone comment whether this is going to be fixed?
Hi תומר א., I think they think of this as a feature, not a bug ;)
I can't even say how to read those Hebrew letters, I'm only capable of Latin and Cyrillic, so I had to copy'n'paste it.
I'll try three tildes for a sig, let's see: ~~~~
And some useless software bug introduced nowiki-tags, it didn't help.
Well, IIRC en.wiki's policy requires users with non-latin names to have a signaure in latin letters. Good luck pushing 'Flow' there.
As He7d3r posted below, there's phab:T90055 ([Spike] Changing the displayed name, in Flow) that they're supposedly working on.
Thanks for the answer.
There's also phab:T95759 (Auto-complete for alternate names in Flow mentions).
One of the proposed solutions, is to display both the username as usual, and any alternative name in brackets afterwards. So for example, your posts would/could be labelled as:
- תומר א. (Tomer A.)
and anyone could @mention either of those names. That's the goal, at least - a technical solution hasn't been decided on yet (there are a few options, but each of them has drawbacks).
