Hi! There is a MediaWiki extension called Structured Discussions, previously known as Flow ([[mw:Extension:StructuredDiscussions|more info]]). It makes talk pages more easy to use and intuitive, so unless someone is against having it here, I'll enable it in some days. If I remember correctly, it won't be enabled for any talk page by default, so I'll start by enabling it in the General discussion (and then, if anyone wants to have Flow in their talk pages, we can do that too).--[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 14:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC) | Hi!

Hi all! I've been thinking lately on how to make talk pages easier to use, and today I have enabled the Structured Discussions (also called Flow) extension (without enabling it in any actual talk page, just for testing purposes). In short, it's an extension that turns talk pages into forum-like threads, they are easy to use and have a simplified version of the Visual Editor to make things simpler. It's not the ideal solution, but I think it's an improvement over the current system. You can see how it looks in this test page: [[User:Ondo/tests]] (feel free to play with this page all you want! I don't mind). This system can be enabled in all pages of a specific namespace (such as ''user talk:'') or in specific pages. If you like the idea of using this system, there are three options, I think: | |||
# Enabling Flow in this page only, and then in specific user talk pages when requested (administrators can enable it using [[Special:EnableStructuredDiscussions]]. | |||
# Enabling Flow in all talk pages, including this one but not user talk pages (and only do so when requested by the user). | |||
# Enabling Flow in absolutely all talk pages. | |||
Let me know your thoughts! I'll ping some of the more active users, just in case you are not following this page: {{ping|amazingakita|Pod the Elder|TxJ|Bean3000}} --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 20:35, 3 April 2020 (UTC) | |||
