I don't like this idea. We should be moving away from storing metadata
in wikitext and hacky parser functions and not adding more of them.

Sure, there are other ways to implement "This wikitext page should show Flow topics" (e.g. a Page property). I mentioned LQT's implementation because I'm familiar with the way LQT allows a hybrid page (example)

ContentHandler currently has some bugs because it really hasn't been
tested outside of Wikidata, but I believe most of those are short-term
issues and that it is the best way to integrate Flow into normal
MediaWiki pages.

Are you supporting my idea of a hybrid page but disagreeing with the implementation, or preferring the current "disruptive" switch to content model=flow-board?

Thanks,
