Custom signatures are great for letting people know who said what they allow for a specific user to be easily, visually distinguishable in discussions.
The first is that they're disruptive from a UI point of view. Structured Discussions will not directly support custom signatures, for a couple of reasons.

VisualEditor is used as the "preview" function.īecause Structured Discussions stores content in HTML rather than Wikitext, Parsoid may rewrite wikitext when previewing or saving and re-editing.

Mediawiki edit archive#
It's more respectful to the discussions if we preserve the original format, on an archive page. We won't be able to "convert" wiki talk pages into the Structured Discussions format, because there isn't a clear one-to-one correspondence between a wiki talk page edit to a Structured Discussions post. Old discussions aren't thrown away we know how important discussions are to understanding the collaborative history of a wiki page or project. There's a link in the Structured Discussions board's side rail to the archive page. When Structured Discussions is enabled on an active wiki talk page, the existing discussions are moved to an archive page. What happens to current talk page discussions?
