For example, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Beta_Features/Nearby_Pages remained the same wikilink and URL after becoming a Flow board. What we typically do when converting a talk page to Flow is move the existing page to a /Archive subpage that remains wikitext, and link to it from the Flow board heading. See the /Archive_1 subpage of the page above. Section links break but that seems no worse than what happens with current talk pages when archiving old sections. > There are a lot of things that are possible on talk pages with > wikitext that I know I can't do with LT (one time someone insisted on > a biased and inaccurate summary.... years ago) and since Flow is more > or less still up in the air as to the details, I am hoping there is > more than one way to find out about this than waiting for time to > tell. > If you wonder if something works in Flow, try it at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Sandbox , and discuss issues at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Flow Many are covered at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow/FAQ Regards, -- =S Page Features engineer
