Someone might want to add this template on the main page

Please add {{Not a test page}} to the main page and all pages that aren't test pages. Message shown depends on the namespace of the page it's being used on. See documentation or source code for details. Thanks!

Adding the template to Main Page ends up with text that says the main page is a policy, which it's not. The template seems a little wacky. Since Main Page is protected, why is this needed?

Jdforrester (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Agreed, I don't think it's needed for the Main Page, but possibly other places could do with a local version?

Cscott (talkcontribs)

This is a test, etc.

Cscott (talkcontribs)

Seems to work, right?

Koavf (talkcontribs)

Yes.

T349033 is about DiscussionTools but this is StructuredDiscussions; did the test test things?

Count of bureaucrats added to Main Page.

Frostly (talkcontribs)

Could the count of this wiki’s bureaucrats be added to the page, similar to the admins?

Koavf (talkcontribs)

 Done

Please let me know if my mass-hiding is causing a problem

There are only nine threads to hide though?

AnonymousStackOverflow (talkcontribs)

@Jdforrester (WMF) There were about 20 testing threads (things like "FooBar" and "Testing"), but I hid them.

--~~~~ does not work on flowboards.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

So you cannot sign your signature. The only way to do it would be copy and paste, which is too complex.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

@Arlo Barnes: Would you like to chat in this topic room?

Arlo Barnes (talkcontribs)

Sure! If ~~~~ doesn't work, perhaps ~~~~~ does? ...no.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

~~~~~ doesn't work either.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

This is a flow-board, not a regular wikitext format. Some of the things that don't work include the signature, and most notably, the redirect function does not work. A soft redirect must be used instead.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

That's why some things don't work as expected :)

Arlo Barnes (talkcontribs)

It makes sense that text for discussion might be desired to be more limited than for articles, transcriptions, etc.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

Yes, but the good thing is that I think changes go live. This namespace was previously installed on English Wikipedia, but uninstalled after being rejected by the community.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

It's been five hours from now. There are 29 days left until Christmas, and 34 days left in the year.

hello?

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

Hey there! Would you like to chat with me?

Chungmotniemtin (talkcontribs)

yeah, maybe when i'm free. I'm working in Vietnam and work in UTC+7 timezone.

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

Xin chào rất vui được gặp bạn! I would love to chat with you.

Chungmotniemtin (talkcontribs)

yup

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

How are you right now?

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)
Chungmotniemtin (talkcontribs)

BrUh, still fine

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

Test edit:

{{Topic:Vyi20hmbufec83dt))

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

Discussions cannot be embedded yet.

Chungmotniemtin (talkcontribs)

BrUh does this board flow?

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

What do you mean?

Chungmotniemtin (talkcontribs)

I said: Does this board flow? A lot of new comments and it isn't flow

AJ1m3,zsd. (talkcontribs)

I don't know. I do know that transcluding this page (as in {{Topic:Vyi20hmbufec83dt}}) will not work yet. Redirects are also impossible.

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:


...


i ''know'' the reason is that i'm not signed in (need an account to do that), but not everyone who visits will realize that, and the Edit page doesn't ''say'' that's the reason, or any reason at all, despite saying it says what the reason is. Just FYI.

Summary by AnonymousStackOverflow

I edited the description and am hiding test edits.

AnonymousStackOverflow (talkcontribs)

The description seems to imply that this isn't, but it has been used as one.

MdsShakil (talkcontribs)

Obviously main page is not a sandbox

MdsShakil (talkcontribs)

No

AnonymousStackOverflow (talkcontribs)

I think the description should be more clear about that then, because this talk page has a large number of test edits.
