Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic:Siu8ipycanzh9uky
  2. Reply to TheDJ's comment, or the IP's comment, and observe the indentation:
    pasted_file (687×847 px, 48 KB)
    pasted_file (691×853 px, 48 KB)
  3. Reply to Quiddity's comment, and observe the indentation:
    pasted_file (658×847 px, 45 KB)

Expected result:

  • The indentation would be the same between all three comments, as they're all replies to a specific comment in the thread.

Actual result:

  • The indentation level is correct and consistent for the first two comments, but is too low and inconsistent in the reply to the last comment.

To clarify, I'm talking about these buttons that I've highlighted:

They should all behave consistently with each other. Right now they don't.

this is not bug, but a feature, and main meaning of the new indendation model.

why it is so - because last post in classical diagonal thread also does not allow 2 different ways of replying to it.

but indeed there is little inconsistency / conflict - the idea of subthread conflicts with idea of classical threads, because "subthreads" are not really subthreads in classical comments (like in livejournal and email lists) - they are multiple continuations of threads.

see also my comments and images in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Senq838us190rqlp .

this bug report is duplicate of T94381 , but that one is formulated as feature request.

qdinar mentioned this in T116999: Flow UI does not allow replying to the last comment (it only allows reply-to-topic in that case).Feb 6 2016, 5:24 PM
