Change Details

Flow has a `convertToText.php` script which can provide the wikitext equivalent of a Flow page. This hasn't been used much; I think the last time it was touched was in 2016 ({T90075}). We should try it on some complex pages and see how well it works. Some things to look for: * complex markup (if we can find or create a suitable test page) * handling of hidden/deleted/suppressed comments/topics * huge pages (e.g. [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk|mw:Support]] or the [[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Forum_des_nouveaux|frwiki Teahouse) * something with a lot of indentation / response levels * can we get an estimate of time needed per comment?
