By default, Comments: pages transclude [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body]] which generates:
{{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude>
{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}}
</noinclude>Going forward, this will need to be:
{{Commentary/DT}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude>
{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}}
</noinclude>- 1. The community will need to stop using the above header and use a DT-based one instead. [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body]] and any documentation needs to be updated
- 2. Existing pages with LQT threads will need to be mass-moved to /LQT Archive. We can do this with batchMove.php maintenance script. (Done manually for all pages created in 2025)
- 3. The resulting empty pages will need to be re-populated with a link to /LQT Archive, as well as a DiscussionTools version of the header, using the edit.php maintenance script. (Done manually for all pages created in 2025)
- 4. Any pages with the LQT header but no threads should be mass-edited to use the DiscussionTools version, using the edit.php maintenance script. (We can skip this step, as after freezing, the LQT parser function will stop working, and the template can just be redirected to the DT one)
- 5. We can run the LQT->Flow conversion script to convert the pages at /LQT Archive to Flow
- 6. Freeze LQT
