Topic on User talk:Quiddity (WMF)

Can you please comment on questions about Flow there

Hi,

1. Rollback support needs to be added. This feature request is phab:T93494
2. It is not possible to see multiple diffs at once. As Trizek wrote in our other discussion, this is difficult because each post is stored separately.
   • How much do you think the task in #3 would solve this? Can Q-bit array give an example use-case where diffs would be needed instead?
3. I think this is the feature request at phab:T108407 per our other discussion.
4. This bug is phab:T113702
5. (script/gadgets and bots)
   • There is documentation for script/gadget editors at Flow/Architecture/API#Posting a new topic from on-wiki JavaScript.
   • For bots that use Pywikibot, there are details at Manual:Pywikibot/Flow about how to easily update.
   • For bots using other frameworks, there are comments in this email to mediawiki-api which might help.

Thank you, as always. :-)

phab:T108407 says simply "equivalent, Compare selected revisions"  but does not say how it would be. So it's hard to say it will be able to to solve or not.

I've updated the description in phab:T108407 with a detailed explanation of the one suggestion solution. Does that help?

Yes, now more clear. Here are some examples from him:

1) standard function Watchlist "updated since my last visit." They are very convenient for quick viewing of all new posts in the entire page/forum (not only in one topic). - We see all the new and minimum of old. View all at once the discussion / forum is the only way to quickly get acquainted with the situation after a couple of days break. Maybe not so many editors do it, but so do useful active editors.

2) diffs for a few edits are essential as evidence in resolving conflicts. - Users often make 2-5 edits per message, and this message may be done on one or more posts. There is still need to remember that you can hide the Flow posts that probably will not add to the convenience for this case.
