Hi S Page,
Good timing! As you were writing this I assigned myself the task of writing
up what the bot will do, so it didn't linger on as an orphan. Frances and I
can divvy up that work in whatever way it makes most sense.
Regarding T76785: I will handle the BAG request (and just re-assigned it to
myself, since I'm the bot owner).
Our first priority is to test our whole workflow on testwiki. I see that
MatchBot has the Flow-bot user right now, so are we good to go with testing
creating a talkpage as a Flow board there?
Congrats on the promotion! I'll gladly take over shepherding this through
from here on out. Thank you so much for your work with us,
J

Good news: if you have the flow-create-board right, and if you're on a
wiki with $wgContentHandlerUseDB set, then add-topic or edit-header creates
a new Flow board. \o/ T76793 is resolved.
However, neither condition is set on enwiki. I added some more blocking
tasks to T78640 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78640> (Co-op: bot
can create a Flow board for each new mentored editor (tracking)).
Frances, do you have a wiki page explaining what the bot will do?
Are you or ErikB (who comes back from break on Friday) working on T76785
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76785> (Co-op: get approval for
hostbot to flow-create-board right) ?
I explained the issues to Danny that make T51193
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T51193> (Set $wgContentHandlerUseDB =
true on all WMF wikis) contentious. I moved its blockers to a new T85847
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85847> (issues with granting the
editcontentmodel right). We'd rather the Co-op bot *not* be tied to big
discussions of changing content models and Flow taking over more talk
pages, but it might get sucked in.
http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/editcontentmodel has next steps for
wgContentHandlerUseDB and a draft message about the changes for a Flow tech
lead to eventually send out.
I'm happy to help, but someone else needs to take the reigns rains reins
on this.
