Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Talkpagespace using administrative processes/reply (7)

Some of these workflows happen on talk pages attached to the object for which they are being applied to, unlike deletion requests, in the current usage at any rate. And users keep screwing them up. With a specialized workflow implementation as you suggest using the example of a page deletion process, we'd need to make sure that users actually use these tools, instead of how they currently act, by randomly starting a poll on the talk page, and then someone comes along later, and corrects it by properly registering it into the various processes (such as Requested Moves). If the specialized workflow is not started at the beginning of the discussion, then all that came before is effectively lost. As well, the originating nominator's name will not be attached to the new workflow unless we allow users to attach other user's identities as the "creator", or create a new set of workloads for our administrators (who I assume would have such a right, if the general user does not)
