Description

Found by @Epok, who also shared the examples.

The following users at French WIkipedia have been renamed. However their Flow archived and set to read-only talk pages haven't been renamed:

Expectation: pages are renamed along with other pages when the user account is renamed.

This happens, because Flow is marked as read-only (so the pages are impossible to move). Assuming non-Flow subpages are getting moved, this seems like an instance of T382791: Create a simpler way to move Flow pages in the read-only era.

Not relevant to CA or renaming: happens merely because of the read only switch.
