Help:Structured Discussions/Quick tour/pt-br

Esta página é um guia rápido sobre o Flow. Você aqui terá as informações mais importantes sobre o Flow e como usá-lo.

Todos os termos específicos (em itálico) estão definidos na nomenclatura.

Por que usar o Flow
O Flow é um novo modo de discutir.

A estrutura das discussões foi alterada: uma página de discussão (um Conselho) agora é uma agregação de Tópicos, e cada tópico é independente e pode ser vigiado separadamente. Flow allows a user to choose which topics they want to watch; not a whole page anymore. New topics are added at the top of the page. Topics can be sorted by time of creation or time of last activity.

O Flow permite que pessoas discutam usando tanto o Editor Visual como o editor de código-fonte. Action buttons (reply, thanks) are connected to each answer, ready to use.

Não é mais necessário indentar suas respostas, arquivar discussões ou usar assinaturas. Discussions go faster and are more accessible to anyone.

Princípios da edição


Você pode participar de discussões usando dois sistemas de entrada de texto: o Editor Visual (por padrão) e o editor de código-fonte.

Ao postar uma resposta ou criar um novo tópico, você verá uma barra de ferramentas com 4 botões: 3 na esquerda (adicionar estilo, adicionar ligação, mencionar alguém), e um na direita para alternar para o editor de código-fonte.

O Editor Visual tem botões para ligar e formatar, e nomes de usuários são permitidos na busca e no preenchimento automático. Wikitext shortcuts work in VisualEditor as well as VisualEditor shortcuts. Remember: you don't need to indent while posting or sign anymore!

You can switch anytime between VisualEditor and Wikitext. During your session, the website will remember which system you prefer.

All these editing basics applies for all discussions, answers or when you edit Topic, Description, or Summary.

To the global topic
Each participant posts above the discussion, in a chronological way. It is like a usual on-wiki conversation but without indentation, or like answering emails. Your Post will be displayed above all comments and depends on theTopic.

If you need to say something special to someone, you can mention the user or reply to them (see below). The "reply" button is used in this case, to create a digression. Your Post will be displayed above the comments you reply for, with an indentation.

You can also just thank someone.

To a specific person in a topic
If you want to say something to someone particular, you can mention him on your global answer, or click on the "Reply" button.

You will add a Post, below the Post you want to answer directly. Your Post depends on the Post you reply on. This Post is designed as a specific answer. However, every person who watches this Topic will get a notification of your answer, like all answers.

Create a discussion
On a page using Flow, creating a new topic is easy: you just need to click on the "Start a new topic" field. Flow will prepare two fields.

The first field is "start a new topic", choose a relevant title. The second field is "Post a new message about...", add your text. Choose your title wisely if you want to attract readers: people will see it on their Notifications, without other details.

When you are ready, click on the green "Add topic" button. Your Post is online, every person watching the page is notified of the creation of this new topic.

You will be auto-subscribed when you create a topic: you will get a notification when someone replies.

A topic
To watch a specific subject, click on the star on the top of the Topic, near of the title. It turns green. If it is already green, you already were watching this topic.

While watching, you will get a notification for every edit to this Topic, and a new line in your watch list.

When you create a Topic, you are auto-subscribed to this Topic.

A Talk page
To watch a whole page, click on the star on the top of the page, near of the search field. It turns blue. If it is already blue, you already were watching this page.

While watching, you get a notification for every new subject posted on this talk page. You will also get a watch list entry.

Notifications
You can turn off Flow notifications on your notifications preferences. Your watchlist will be still updated with a new line for every subject on a talk page you watch or a new line when someone answers a Topic you watch.

Browse and archive
All Topics displayed on a board are listed on a table of contents. You can browse all these Topics on this table.

Archiving is automated: all discussions disappear when they are not active anymore. You can display older Topics by scrolling down the page, or by searching on the table of contents.
