Does translatewiki joined the LQT remove programme?
Mediawiki is currently removing Flow and LQT in all wikis. The programme consists of moving boards to subpages, setting them to read-only, convert the LQT pages into wikitext, and finally completely remove the extension from the wiki. It seems there is no existing plan for translatewiki. Will the local wiki joined this programme? If not, will translatewiki do the same thing as mediawiki does? 阿南之人 (talk) 11:51, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- See for example https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332104#10413640. Looks like the developers are not going to provide a migration path that makes sense to us. This will likely lead us to situation where we have to suddenly undeploy LQT at some point because it stops working completely, losing access to old conversations.

- It looks like at least in theory the LQT->Flow maintenance script can convert LQT pages from a remote wiki using the LiquidThreads API (although the code that does that is scarily labeled "This is *only* for use in testing, not production"), so in theory one could install Flow on a temporary test wiki, run that script there, and then run my export with history script to produce XML which can then be imported. I may get around to playing around with this idea sometime, but probably not for a very long time. Pppery (talk) 17:26, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Pppery Well, English Wikinews, English Wiktionary and Hungarian Wikipedia are all struggling with the same problem. You may take a look at them. 阿南之人 (talk) 04:36, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- My plan is to let the WMF install Flow there and convert to Flow, and then convert to wikitext from that. Pppery (talk) 16:52, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Is there any reason why some projects in this category are under * and some under letters A,B,C...? maro21 (talk) 13:01, 11 January 2025 (UTC) maro21 (talk) 18:29, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Maro21: I don't see any logical reason for why it's like that, no. Feel free to reorganize it so everything sorts by letter instead of
*if you want! Jon Harald Søby (talk) 15:29, 25 February 2025 (UTC)- Done. maro21 (talk) 21:17, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
