            Bug ID: 60936
           Summary: Flow: unrecognized and unsupported URL actions
                    silently fail
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All

Bug 60834 complains that ?action=info doesn't work on a Flow page.  Perhaps
action=info should display useful information, see discussion at that bug.

The issue at hand is whether Flow should ignore unrecognized/unsupported
actions, as it does now -- you just see the Flow board. That's misleading if
someone follows a URL that used to do something useful before Flow was enabled
on the page.

On a regular wiki page ?action=BAD results in
  No such action
  The action specified by the URL is invalid. You might have mistyped the URL,
or followed an incorrect link. This might also indicate a bug in the software
used by {{SITENAME}}. 

(enwiki customizes the second, <nosuchactiontext>, message).

Maybe Flow should respond similarly, with a <flow-nosuchactiontext> changed to
"... is invalid for a Flow board. ..."
