U6. Allow moving Flow boards
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

As a user, I want to move (rename) a page with an associated Flow board, and have the Flow board automatically move with it, the way that talk pages currently do.

As a user, if I use Special:MoveTo to move only a Flow board, that should work too.

Acceptance criteria
  • Clicking "Move" in the menu, the Special:MovePage message should have "Move associated Flow board" as an option, replacing the current "Move associated talk page".
  • Flow should be enabled at the new location, and the topics and header on the old Flow board should be connected to the board's new location.
  • "Leave a redirect behind" should work. (If the old location is still Flow-enabled we would have to make #REDIRECT work on Flow board or put a soft redirect in its board header).
  • If the new Flow board location cannot be a Flow board, or the user does not have the rights to enable Flow there, then the move should fail with an appropriate error.
  • Re-render header against new page name.

Event Timeline

Not yet but In theory this should be trivial. We just change FlowHooks::onMovePageIsValidMove to update the Workflow object instead of failing the move and see what happens :)

well, not directly update from that hook perhaps, but thats the general idea.

DannyH claimed this task.

These are old notes... We'll have to rethink this before we do it.

Why is this declined? This is the only task I could find about it, and we will have to implement this at some point, most likely.

EBernhardson set Security to None.

Copying across old comments from trello:

@Spage wrote (June 21, 2014):

Currently if you use Special:MoveTo to move a Flow board, or a page and its Flow-enabled talk page, all the content is left at the old board, and Flow ignores redirect. To fix this:
Flow would have to decide if the new name is or can be a Flow board and disallow certain moves (which relates to how pages are Flow-enabled, G-10. Spike: Special page to enable/disable Flow on pages).
Flow would have to update its tables so content is associated with the new board name.
Until this works, T68891: Until Flow pages can be moved, prevent someone from trying is to block moving Flow boards.

As an advanced markup editor I can move a page to a new page title through Special:MovePage, and have the Flow board associated with that page move with it. In addition, I can manually move that Flow board, independent of what happens to the associated page, in the case of (ferinstance) Wikipedia-space pages.
Acceptance Criteria:

  • Special:MovePage allows for the move of Flow boards;
  • Special:MovePage allows for the move of Flow boards attached to a page the user is trying to move.

This might "just work" once we stop using the $wgFlowOccupyPages whitelist in favor of G-10. Spike: Special page to enable/disable Flow on pages . The new page name would have the Flow content model thus would still be a Flow board, and @werdnum thinks its topics refer to their starting board by page ID, not by title, so they would update to indicate they came from the new Flow board name.

Currently it doesn't work. Special:MoveTo fails with internal error, the renamed Flow page has the JSON identifying the UUID for the board (good) but has contentmodelt="wikitext" instead of "flow-board", the old Flow page doesn't have #REDIRECT in it, etc.

also
I can combine the two articles (merged content into one) - the second board sign on the themes of the first board, or any method [[T88140| Moving topics between boards]] move all topics from one board to another board with topics. For such action need a way to cancel? Such action would make multiple log entry?

For this first pass, i think re-rendering the board header is just going to be a null edit by the Flow talk page manager, we can revisit this later.
