How about just converting those threads back to
Wikitext, instead? That

Bottom line, it makes no sense to replace software that was considered
barely suitable when it was first developed with "new" software that can't
even do what that old, long-neglected software could do...and in several
cases, there is no intention to ever add the features already available
using Wikitext.
As expectations increase for project users to post their
comments/concerns/ideas/observations on Mediawiki, the use of Flow will
become a barrier for participation.
As someone who used LQT a lot, I'd say I'd much rather flow replace the
pages I maintained using LQT. Maybe you dislike flow, but it's *way* more
useful than wikitext for discussion. I never want to go back to the days
where I needed to discuss things with wikitext ever again. Wikitext
discussion pages are just the absolute worst.
