User talk:TMg

Wow, thanks. I'm still afraid I waste my time and the German users will reject the tool like they did in the English Wikipedia. It really, really needs to be opt-in. --TMg 11:31, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Flow Portal/FAQ
Please do not continue to revert the topic, as you have done. Thanks.--Jorm (WMF) (talk) 22:28, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Jorm: Why? "No" is not a proper answer to such a complex question. "No" is obviously wrong because the prototype and every second comment on the talk pages are talking about banning source editing. Please give a proper answer or write something like "currently discussed" or "Flow will use whatever Visual Editor offers" (which would be a bad decision in my opinion, but that's an other topic).


 * More general: It's not that I don't like Flow. I know we need a better discussion system in the Wikipedia. I want it as much as I want an easier file upload and an easier way to do simple edits in articles (not for me but for all my less technical friends). I want to help making Flow a success in the German Wikipedia (which is my main wiki). But I can not and I will not waste my time for this if you reject to communicate and don't want to give proper answers to complex questions. --TMg 12:52, 15 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, possibly I can help. Over at the en.wiki version of the FAQ, an editor added the text from a comment that Jorm wrote in a talkpage-thread, to the equivalent question (w:Wikipedia:Flow/FAQ). I don't think it would be ideal to use that text over here, as a more concise answer would be preferable (in both locations!), but hopefully it will at least partially answer the question for you, in the meantime.


 * In regards to the more specific aspects of what exactly will happen to our current system of writing (i.e. the nice things Wikitext thread), I've tried to concisely summarize this issue (which has been discussed in a multitude of locations) at the bottom of this thread: w:Wikipedia talk:Flow - I've asked the VE developers and Flow developers to look at that list, and to give a short response sometime in the next few weeks (once they've all gotten back from Wikimania and holiday), so hopefully that will answer that question.


 * Hope that helps. Quiddity (talk) 17:22, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * So I'm right? This is a complex question. It needs a complex answer. Responding with "no" is the same as telling the volunteers they should "shut up". That's not how this is going to work. For now I replaced the unsufficient answer with a copy from en. --TMg 10:47, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think that either your edit-warring or what you've done most recently is appropriate. This is, at some level, a very simple question with a very simple answer:  Flow is not "replacing wikitext".  Flow is replacing discussion pages, not wikitext.  This very simple question and very simple answer is needed because there have been false rumors spread about Flow.
 * In terms of the "complex question", today's answer is equally simple: the question cannot usefully be answered until the answer is actually known, i.e., until after the staff has had time to write the specifications documents.  I'm sorry if "please do not keep demanding detailed answers until it is possible to give you an accurate detailed answer" sounds like "shut up" to you.  That is not what is being said and not what is meant.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:51, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
