Description

Special:History doesn't show much except "Taken over by Flow".
Expected: For a Flow page, where the content type is 'flow-board' [1], Special history should redirect to the default history page view [2]

Example: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:History/Talk:Content_translation

[1] use $wgTitle->getContentModel()
[2] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Beta_Features/Hovercards&action=history&useskin=minerva

the easy solution is to allow the flow history page to be displayed.

Let me know how MobileFrontend can be adapted to do this. Does Flow use a specific hook to hijack the history page?

We provide actions to ContentHandler::getActionOverrides() to replace the history action

So how would MobileFrontend and Flow decide who gets to override it...?

I assume we could use content handler here in some way? (e.g. if article content type is Flow-board MobileFrontend shouldn't override). Can someone confirm?

Yes, $wgTitle->getContentModel() should be 'flow-board'.
