Keep refactoring possible

Make a page of threads totally editable
Major feature request: make LT totally editable. That is, allow any user to edit all aspects of parts of a talkpage - node indentation (what it replies to), merging of two nodes, merging of two threads, &c.

These have obvious everyday uses:
 * editing indentation: a comment is made "in reply to" one node, but should really be replying to something one level up; or two comment threads are merge in a refactoring
 * editing thread: three threads are about the same topic, in a confusing way. The whole thread-collection needs to be refactored under a parent level-1 thread.

Without this, LT and the current mechanism for summaries has limited use for large wikis -- refactoring is important for larger discussions. Sj 19:33, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I strongly agree. This is one aspect of liquidthreads being splitted on so many pages with weird relationships instead of a single page you can easily edit seeing or changing everything. Nemo 20:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Make all comments editable by everyone

 * ''See also Thread:Extension talk:LiquidThreads/Redesign/Is it really necessary to allow users to edit each other's posts?

Comments should be editable by everyone - or at least by all logged-in users.

Perhaps this can be its own separate right, one that individual mediawiki installations can set for themselves -- but for WMF wikis it should be available to all contributors.

It is frequent that one person needs to tweak someone else's comment; this should not be any more difficult than it is in the current LQT. Sj 20:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
