Structured Discussions/Request Structured Discussions on a page

'''You want to try Flow on your wiki? It is possible!'''

All pages on all Wikimedia Foundation supported projects are eligible, in time.

See also Flow/Rollout for a list of wikis that are using or discussing Flow, and more technical details.

Flow is available as a beta feature on MediaWiki and on Chinese Wikipedia (zh).

For a community page
If you want to help get Flow deployed on a community page at a specific wiki: You can ask to have a test page. It's good to discuss where the community wishes to trial Flow after that, in a real-working environment. E.g. a helpdesk, or village pump, or a wikiproject, or similar...
 * 1) Start a discussion with the community, to get consensus on starting the trial.
 * 2) After consensus is reached, add a link below to the community result and the link(s) to the page(s) you want Flow on.

Technical details
For the first use of Flow at a wiki, the developers need this information: When further rollouts are being discussed, it is also helpful to tell us:
 * The exact name of the local discussion & feedback page (for anyone who is unwilling to give feedback at mw:Talk:Flow), e.g. Wikipedia_talk:Flow or Discussion_Wikipédia:Flow
 * The exact name of a "sandbox" page, where the community would like to test out Flow, e.g. Wikipedia:Flow/sandbox or Viquipèdia_Discussió:Flow/proves
 * The local standard (most common) page-archive naming system(s), so that we can try to follow the local custom. E.g. ".../Archive 1" or ".../Archiwum/1" or ".../Archives/2013/July"
 * Don't forget to check if all Flow messages have been translated in the language(s) used in your wiki!

Community consensus reached?
Please list it here:
 * Community consensus for Arabic Wikipedia: --Ibrahim.ID (talk) for Ar Wiki - (Discussion Page) - 09/30
 * Community consensus in Chinese Wikipedia, it is here, please let us know how we can deploy the new toy~ Shangkuanlc - 10/01
 * Community consensus for the Bosnian Wikipedia can be found here. --Srdjan m (talk) 18:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Reach community consensus first!
You can start a discussion on your wiki to get community consensus to have Flow on test pages, or individual pages. Please see the section above before adding a request if you wiki does not have community consensus.

Temporary parking

 * 1) Per this final discussion, please:
 * 2) * activate Flow on fr:Wikipédia:Forum des nouveaux/relecture. Please warn us before, as we can stop the bot and answer properly all remaining requests.
 * 3) * turn the Forum des nouveaux to Flow only (and redirect Wikipédia:Forum des nouveaux/Flow to Wikipédia:Forum des nouveaux). Thanks! Trizek (talk) 09:56, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * fr:Wikipédia:Forum des nouveaux/relecture/Flow is activated, and people are redirected on it.
 * fr:Wikipédia:Forum des nouveaux/Flow is ready to be renamed as fr:Wikipédia:Forum des nouveaux. Trizek (WMF) (talk) 15:15, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Per fa:ویکی‌پدیا:قهوه‌خانه/گوناگون please:
 * 2) * Activate Flow on the local Project talk:Flow page, Project talk:Flow/sandbox page, and local help desk page. Also people should be allowed to enable flow on their own talk pages.
 * Okay, Flow is now enabled on those three pages on fa.wiki. The feature to enable Flow on your own talk page is coming out soon! DannyH (WMF) (talk) 22:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * please remove flow from help desk page. this extension is new and made confuse newbiesYamaha5 (talk) 13:16, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * It seems Flow has some bugs for Persian language (mostly easy bugs) I will report them all. Please remove flow from help desk to fix bugs and we will bring it back once the bugs are solved. Ladsgroup (talk) 14:10, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've moved the help desk page back. Are you concerned about the way that the header templates looked when they were copied into the side rail? I think the big template with the blue header is using a fixed width, and it didn't play well in the smaller space. I'm sorry, I should have spotted that and asked you about the template before I enabled Flow. Let me know what I can do. DannyH (WMF) (talk) 18:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC)


 * 1) I should say my talk page on,  and here are have Special:TranslatorSignup enabled, is this will be affected? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:34, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey Liuxinyu970226, I've transferred your message here. Trizek (WMF) (talk) 08:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

What will happen?
Flow will be deployed as soon as possible on the requested page(s) and on a feedback page (usually WP:Flow in the local language). You will receive a notification when it is done.

The previous talk page will be archived, and Flow will be alive on your page!

Caveats
Note: You may miss some automated messages until the bot-writers adopt Flow (see T107093 and related tasks). See further notes at T98270 ("Opt-in for Flow on your own user talk page")

Data
Between Wikimania 2015 (07/13 - 07/19) and end of September, you've been 55 to request Flow on your personal talk pages. Thank you!

At the moment, there is a community consensus and active boards on users talk pages on the following projects: Catalan Wikipedia (4), French Wikipedia (22) & WKT (0), Hebrew Wikipedia (6), Mediawiki.org (33), Persian Wikipedia (1), and Wikidata (9). (Figures are the number of requests and activation based on this page.) We also notice some requests for wikis where the consensus has not been reached, like Commons (9), Polish Wikipedia (3) or English Wikipedia (2).

Flow will be available as a beta feature soon (T98270). We plan to track the activation automatically (T114111).
