Flow cannot be enabled in subpage, like Talk:Java/Introduction. I know maybe it is designed to be.
Projects like Wikibooks and our site do use subpage in main namespace, because a "book" contains many contents.
I hope Flow can be enabled in supages' talk. Or if it is possible to write another plugin to do this, please give me some advice. I want to try to make such a plugin.
Thanks.

I tried to modify related code to allow Flow in subpages.
includes/TalkpageManager.php line 48 was removed:
&& !$title->isSubpage() );
Now Flow can be seen in supages' talk.
@guoyunhebrave , I suspect you used wgFlowOccupyNamespaces to enable Flow in the main Talk namespace (1 or NS_TALK). By design this doesn't make subpages Flow boards, so that someone can say "See my new page design at Talk:Java/New_design"; however when someone clicks the Discussion tab of a subpage, then it feels wrong for that talk page not to match all the other talk pages for the namespace.
Another workaround (for now) is to explicitly add the subpages you want to be Flow boards to $wgFlowOccupyPages.
The Flow team is going to change Flow so that (most likely) a site admin can enable Flow on any page. But we still have to figure out what the default should be in a namespace and whether it applies to subpages. See T76781.
This is done. Anyone with flow-create-board can create a board, including on a sub-page, using Special:EnableFlow. Other than that, the status is still pretty similar.
I don't know how interesting this will be for this task, but https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tema:Si31dl2puhnj6pcu contains a discussion on what to do with discussions in subpages for a namespace that is going to be converted to Flow (discussion in Catalan, good luck with your preferred automatic translator).
Once T95592: D5. Only take into account $wgFlowOccupyNamespaces, $wgFlowOccupyPages, and flow-create-board (allowCreation array) for non-existent pages (CA) is fixed, we can safely drop subpage-related logic everywhere except in the conversion script.
Clarification: T95592 should be fixed first, and then any non-existent page in an occupied namespace should be Flow regardless of whether it's a subpage or whether its subject page exists.
