Create a Page of Flow-Discussion

User of the group Bureaucrats or Administrators can activate any page to be a flow-discussion page by Special:Enable Flow. This page uses the more user friendly layout and user interface of extension:Flow. On the very flow-discussion page you can specify under “About this board” more precisely the topic of the board.

A Flow Discussion Page

Manage and Moderate Discussions

Options to work with on flow topics

In general it is meant to be used for a work flow process:

1. someone ask a question
2. the questions get answered or talked about
   • perhaps it is a good idea to adjust the topic’s title to the found solutions or talked contents so that topic title and contents correspond to each other
   • to rename the topic title use the options of the topic
   • perhaps write a summary of the topic
3. eventually mark a topic as resolved or done after the discussion is finished

Problems and Issues

Flow-Bord description using template {{Flow reload page}}

Presently there is a bug that does not render the topic’s content once the post is made. In this case only a purging of the page’s cache resolves this issue. Use {{Flow reload page}} on the board’s description for this.
