(I've been in my new job for 4 hours yet I'm still worrying about Flow
content models. Such loyalty :) )
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.
