Can you point me to a LQT discussion that people have used that way?
In all the LQT discussions I remember being in people just replied to the comment they were replying to. No one seemed to go and reply to a post higher up just to break indentation. And if things go to far you can't nautrally fork a LQT/Flow discussion the way you do in a WikiText page. If you did that the people you're talking to wouldn't be notified. > but normally you just start a new conversation/thread/topic/whatever > you want to call it if it goes too far. Actually this part sounds like the best solution to the 8-levels deep issue. Any discussion that deep should probably be forked. Perhaps the Flow interface needs high level support for something like that. Something like how Discourse lets you fork a message into a new topic and displays an interface bit that links to the new topic. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://danielfriesen.name/] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
