Wikipedia talk:Flow/Developer test page


Flow/Developer_test_page was a page where anyone could post random junk to test Flow. Flow has been uninstalled from EnWiki. As part of that process, the flow testing page was converted to wikitext. The WMF decided that it was too much work to implement the edit history. The page therefore has effectively no edit history, and all edits have already been removed from editors' contribution histories.

The page now serves no purpose, and I see little value in retaining the converted test-content. Alsee (talk) 21:48, 12 December 2016 (UTC)


 * keep. the 'random junk' contains many tests as people tried out various things to stress test the system, as well as records of discussions about them and the fixes, as well as discussions of the problems with Flow, the many things yet to be done, and occasionally things people liked about it. As such it’s a unique record of Flow when it was active, and worth keeping. Even though Flow has been suspended it might resume. Even if it were cancelled altogether the limited record of Flow in use will be useful for anyone considering other ways to overhaul talk pages.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 23:30, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Archive. No point deleting, even if deleting did free space, which it doesn't.  No point in hiding records from non-admins.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:33, 13 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete no valuable discussions worth preserving. Everything is mainly gibberish. There's no point in keeping this page as there's no edit history either. 103.6.159.65 (talk) 11:01, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless random junk, especially as no history. Flow was useless junk itself. jni (delete)...just not interested 20:21, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep; if nothing else, we generally don't delete talk pages of existing projectspace pages unless there's a substantial problem with the talk page itself, and I've not encountered anything that's actively problematic with the talk page. Plus, while there's no real history, at least we have record of the process: hopefully not something that will be used with a Flow restart, but hopefully a demonstration why Flow shouldn't be restarted.
