Some, yes (remember Andrew and Brandon have worked on both LQT and Flow) -- in other cases the team deliberately made a different call, and they may have gotten it wrong, or not. Let's reason it through. Flow has LQT-style headers, for example, and thread-level summaries, both with a much nicer UX than LQT, but adopting some of the same principles. > Signatures that break the page are currently dealt with by yelling at the > user to fix their sig and then blocking them if need be.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. By default, Flow lets you edit your own comments, and lets admins edit all comments, just like typical forum conventions. It just doesn't let everyone edit everything. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
