Structured Discussion (previously known as Flow) support was introduced to Pywikibot with release 3.0.20170403. But this extension is no longer under active maintenance for 7 years and people are encouraged to no longer use it. Pywikibot test environment for Structured Discussion on test wiki is disabled for few days, and this code parts cannot be tested any more.
Currently we are in phase 2 of the Structured_Discussions deprecation process where StructuredDiscussions are read only and moved to a sub folder. I assume this will be completed until the end of this year.
Flow support of Pywikibot is deprecated since release 9.4 and Pywikibot 10 is in active development and will deployed at the beginning of 2025. Therfore I propose to desupport flow with Pywikibot 10 after all WM pages are disabled next time.
