Locking and summarizing

4
Amire80 (talkcontribs)

Did anybody consider locking the topic automatically after summarizing? It makes sense to me that the two actions should go together.

תומר א. (talkcontribs)

Or at least indicate somehow that the topic has been summarized.

Meh.. I'm stopping fixing the mess VE is doing with my messages. Sorry for that.

Converting talk pages on mediawiki.org

Hi - now that SD is essentially deprecated, is there any plan to do a mass conversion of SD-based talk pages on mediawiki.org (like this one) to wikitext, whether soon or in the future? I believe there's a script in the extension that can do that.

Is it possible to add discussion tools to Structured Discussions on a mobile phone (add a link, mention a person...) like on a desktop?

Hi. Keeps saying my IP address is blocked. I have never even been on this page let alone edit something. I’m very confused. I can barely use a flip phone. Can someone help me out please. Someone has been hacking my stuff for years and I’m just finding out about it. It showed me a page to edit but I have no idea what the heck all this is

Your IP address is part of an active range block placed on the English language Wikipedia for disruptive editing, which is set to expire in September. If you cannot appeal on your user talk page at that project, please see UTRS for instructions.

Moving my user page

That account is a bot and will not respond. The summary of the move contains the reason why. My French is rusty, but the gist is that it was moved (archived) to allow using a regular wikitext talk page.

French Wikiversity has Flow as a BetaFeature; did you disable it? (Or is it disabled? If so, re-enabling it should change it back, but the old page will still remain archived. If that is not what you want, contact a local administrator to move your talk page.)

Thanks for your answer, and thank you for the information that this account is a bot and won’t respond. I will follow your advice to contact an administrator instead to solve my problem. Have a good evening. Best regards.

Hi! Are those templates still needed or can be removed?

If there are no transclusions, you can go ahead and delete them. If there are transclusions, you can {{subst}} them before deleting the templates.

SteveR (talkcontribs)

no transclusions detected so I deleted them. thank you!

Implementing Flow interface for Talk pages

Hi :-)


I really like how the discussion page for this project uses the StructuredDiscussions interface. Is there some documentation on how to implement that?


Kind regards

Summary by ShifaYT

We asked the help of an administrator, and he found a solution by moving my page.

Summary by Clump

Fixed (template removed).

HLHJ (talkcontribs)

At https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Citoid, there is a notice at the top of the page asking me to comment on the "new" Flow tool "over he coming months". Can this be removed, unless the discussion is actually being reopened?

I'm apparently not allowed to fix myself:

Combating Spam at Structured Discussions pages

Summary by Fokebox

Resolved via AbuseFilter extension.

Fokebox (talkcontribs)

Hi! I noticed that there some users who spam and Structured Discussions pages making links to their websites. How can I prevent them doing this using AbuseFilter extension?

Clump (talkcontribs)

For structured discussions you'll need separate/duplicate filters with the Filter group set to flow (or whatever you set $wgFlowAbuseFilterGroup to).
