Dear Support Desk maintainers and contributors in general,

See this new task proposed as part of the consolidation of https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org as the technical support channel for Wikimedia / MediaWiki users and developers:

Deprecate Project:Support_desk in favor of Wikimedia Developer Support

No worries, this deprecation must be discussed and agreed with you, and the move of Wikimedia Developer Support to production will take a while. This is a heads up to have a good discussion with enough time.

I am a bit confused here. Will the scope of WDS be changed once the changeover was initiated? Currently the scope of this forum is to cater for developers and not form admins. That's a big difference and the reason why I currently do not use WDS.

I left a comment on the phabricator task, but I'll add here that I have a client who has, using iFrames, managed to add Flow discussions to the bottom of their "Tips" namespace.

They are moving their discussions from Yammer into the wiki and using the wiki page as a basis for the discussion seems to be a better solution for their needs than the discussion-centric platform.

I have closed that task as Invalid. See the reasoning here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212654#4862419

Sorry for the noise.
