Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Interactive Prototype/What about all the nice things Wikitext offers us? Will they be available in Flow?/reply (4)

Well, consistent would be to have the same editing functionality everywhere on Wikipedia (basically what we have now) instead of mixing normal articles with LiquidThreads and Flow.

Where is consistency when I'm forced to use Visual Editor on talk pages although I don't like it?

I think you put the cart before the horse: If Visual Editor isn't able to correctly parse all Wikitext it should be fixed. Using a crippled Visual Editor as a "consistent base" neglecting functionality that was there since the early days is just wrong.

If you can't achieve Flow to be as flexible as current talk pages are it will never be a satisfactory replacement.
