Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Interactive Prototype/What about all the nice things Wikitext offers us? Will they be available in Flow?/reply (46)

I'v never had significant problems with learning wikitext, I know to use double square brackts for internal and interwiki links, and single square brackets for external links other than interwiki, what's so confusing about that, let alone for experienced. One thing is for sure, if liquid threads or flow are enabled on all talk pages, the name signing code ( which signs the post, ~ which signs and dates it and which produces only the date stamp ) is probably unneccesary, and probably should be eliminted from the wikitext on such sites. On a related topic, see this relevant wikipedia ruling, had we not needed the name signing code, there would have been one less remedy in that arbitration case. Also in the WP signature guideline there is a limit to signature length in markup as well as display. With liquid threads and flow, signature clutter is eliminated. Also see, liquid threads eliminates the need for method 2 and I'm sure flow will too.
