 * A board is a group of subjects. A talk page converted to Flow is a board. There is only one board per page.


 * Flow-enabled
 * A wiki can specify which pages and namespaces should display a Flow board. For example, several projects' Talk pages, or all User_talk pages.


 * Description

 * Subscription
