As an editor, I want to be able to
- Split off-topic Posts into a new Topic
- Move Posts from one Topic into a different (more relevant) Topic
- Merge duplicate topics
The destination topic might be on the same Board, or a different Board.

Moving use cases from the merged task T95115: Allow moving a comment/topic to an existing topic in another Flow talk page:
- As an editor who help other users with technical problems, I want to be able to move a topic (or relevant comments posted to an unrelated topic) from the talk page of an article to the appropriated topic in the talk page of a template, so that bugs caused by a recent change to that template can be addressed on its own talk page (instead of in two parallel discussions about the same thing)
- As a user who discusses articles proposed for deletion, I want to be able to move relevant comments (or a full topic) from an article's talk page to a Flow discussion in Wikipedia namespace, so that when an author leaves comments on the talk page of his article, which is about to be deleted, his comment can become a reply to the deletion proposal, which is usually discussed on Wikipedia namespace.
Comment Actions
I've added merging duplicate topics, based on this feedbakback by @Honischboy, who explores a bit how difficult it can be:
| Idea | Problem |
| merge every replys sorted by timestamp in the same 'list' | The comments have got another "directions" and so they will be "shaked" together |
| Use two collapsed lists | Many pepole (me, too) won't read the collapsed lists |
| Use two uncollased lists | one word: confusing |
