What is happening here? This is very annoying. Having Flow enabled is great. This protest will not stand in the long run. Ad Huikeshoven (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Well, no, as it will be deleted later this week. What benefit does this page have over the existing test pages (at enwiki and especially at mediawiki)? Fram (talk) 19:38, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

To be clear, this wasn't a real deployment of Flow to the Teahouse; it was just the creation of a test page specific to the Teahouse. No newbies were ever directed to it, since it was never linked to from the rest of the Teahouse. As Fram says, there's little need for the Teahouse to have its own test page, and no real request for one, and so it was brought to MfD. And no, Flow isn't ready for deployment. The very basic functions of starting a thread and replying to a thread do work, to an extent, but there are many more functions (such as deleting a thread or page, notifications, watchlist integration, etc.) needed before Flow can truly go live, not to mention the various bugs that still exist, such as the favorite button at the top rendering the rest of the tabs (like view history, delete, move, or protect) unclickable in the Monobook skin. Flow is nowhere near ready for live deployment, and certainly not in a place as newbie-sensitive as the Teahouse. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 20:13, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
