Verwaltung
All rights groups mentioned on this document are the ones defines on MediaWiki.org. However, configuration varies by wiki, so consult Special:ListGroupRights on the wiki you're interested in.

Concerning posts and topics
Posts and topics can be moderated in three different ways: hide, delete and suppress.

Some users can also edit or rename a Topic or a board, or mark a topic as resolved.

The following sections mention "posts", but everything also applies to topics.

It is not possible to carry out these actions when a topic has been "Marked as resolved". You have to reopen it first.

Edit
You can edit your own posts. Autoconfirmed users can edit Flow posts by other users.

Hide
By default, any user can hide a post; it uses the  right.

A hidden post is replaced by a warning message. You can read the hidden post by clicking on the history link on the warning message. You will then access to the history page, where the message is struck through.

Anyone can unhide a post on the history page. If a post is unhidden, it becomes visible by anyone.

Mark as resolved
By default, any logged in user can mark a topic as resolved, or reopen it (making it no longer resolved).

This prevents further posts to the topic.

This uses the  right.

Delete
By default, users in the sysop group can delete posts. When it is done, the post is deleted. Sysops can restore the post on the History page. This uses the  right.

Suppress
By default, users in the oversight and suppress groups can suppress posts.

When it is done, the post is oversighted. Oversighters can restore the post on the History page.

This uses the  right.

Rename
Renaming a topic will only change the topic title. It will not move the page from the board.

Rename
A user can rename a board if they have the right to create a Flow board at the destination name.

For example, if the destination is a Flow namespace, any user can move the board to there.

If a user has the "" right, they can create a page working on Flow in any location; that means they can move a Flow board to any location.

By default,  has this right.

However, wikis can give it to additional users.

Delete and restore
Deleting a board requires the same privileges as deleting any page. When you delete a board, all topics linked to this board are inaccessible to all users, except sysops (like any deleted page). When you restore a board, all topics are visible again.

Protection and blocking
Like all pages on a wiki, it is possible to semi-protect or protect a Flow board. Blocks are also handled normally. If you block a user without selecting the "" option, that user will still be able to create new topics on their personal talk page.

Move and redirect
It is not possible at the moment to move a Flow board, please request it.

It is not possible at the moment to create a redirection from a Flow board.

Notifications
When a user mentions or thank someone or edits a message, and then that message is hidden, suppressed or deleted, other users are not receiving notifications about these actions done before moderation actions.
