Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions

NickK (talkcontribs)

Hi,

I have recently tried to make a test on Flow and posted my message on the wrong page (this one instead of Talk:Sandbox). I have immediately found out that this is not the right page and tried either to undo my edit (i.e. remove my comment so that it does not appear on the page anymore) or move my comment (i.e. make it attached to Talk:Sandbox instead of this page). However, I failed to any of this and could not find anything better than hide my comment and mark the topic as resolved.

Still, I would like to know how I can move or remove my own message. This is a very common feature for all discussion systems and is straightforward in wikitext, but it is not clear how I can do it in Flow. Pinging @Jay8g: and @Trizek (WMF): who somehow managed to remove my message.

Hi NickK. There are menus for the topic and separate menus for each post. It looks like you found the menu for the post, but not the topic-level menu. Do you have any thoughts/suggestions on how to make it clearer?

@Quiddity (WMF): I do see a menu for the topic, but it contains:

  • Edit title
  • History
  • Permalink
  • Summarize
  • Mark as resolved
  • Hide topic

Neither of these allows me to remove or move my topic, i.e. make it disappear from the page I have mistakenly posted it to.

Only sysops can delete topics and comments. It is not possible for other users to self-delete their comments and topics they created.

That is what Hide is for.

Exactly. It's explained here. Your confusion may be caused by translation issues and/or by the difference between "hide" and "undo".
