Structured Discussions (SD - Flow) is a deprecated extension. Users are advised to discontinue its use, and communities are encouraged to move their talk pages that use Structured Discussions to subpages and stop using them.
It is used on a few wikis. This extension is not maintained. DiscussionTools (DT) is the default discussion system on wikis now.
The Growth team (SD maintainers) and the Editing team (DT maintainers) have started thinking about how to deprecate Structured Discussions (and possibly LiquidThreads) and replace them with DiscussionTools.
Las discusiones estructuradas son una pieza de software compleja que genera muchos problemas de mantenimiento. La estimación del trabajo necesario para adaptar las discusiones estructurales al proyecto IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation reveló una carga de trabajo muy importante. En vista de todos estos desafíos, se tomó la decisión de informar a las comunidades sobre la futura desaprobación de las Discusiones Estructuradas.
La idea es animar a las comunidades de migrar las herramientas activas de Discusiones Estructuradas al formato de página de discusión DiscussionTools. Luego, las páginas de Discusiones Estructuradas se eliminarían de las wikis, en una fecha aún por definirse.

Depreciación de las Discusiones Estructuradas
The Wikimedia Foundation is working on changes to how IP editing is handled: Temporary Accounts. Temporary accounts for unregistered editors will be a new type of user account. This requires changing how features we use to contribute to wikis works.
This work concerns all features, and it raises some challenges. The case of Structured Discussions (also known as “SD” or “Flow”) is one of them. This extension is used at a few wikis, that were progressively contacted in November and December 2023. Flow is a complex piece of software that was never quite finished, fits poorly into the MediaWiki architecture, and creates a significant number of technical errors.
El uso de las discusiones estructuradas es bajo. En agosto de 2023, en promedio DiscussionTools se utiliza alrededor de 18,780 veces al día, mientras que Discussions Structured se utiliza alrededor del 250 veces al día, principalmente en la Wikipedia en francés.
We considered several options to adapt Structured Discussions, including a full adaptation, or a partial adaptation where Temp accounts can respond but not create new conversations. All of them would take a lot of time and effort for a short-term benefit. Also, the Wikimedia Foundation's long-term plan is to remove Structured Discussions from the wikis, mainly due to the maintenance cost. As a consequence, we prefer to avoid adapting Structured Discussions to Temporary accounts.
Aprovechamos el trabajo en torno a las cuentas temporales para cuestionar a las comunidades interesadas sobre el futuro de las discusiones estructuradas.
DiscussionTools is the replacement for Structured Discussions. DiscussionTools is the default discussion system at all wikis. It allows anyone to start, reply or subscribe to a conversation. It provides a visual experience for wikitext-based conversations, and it covers the vast majority of features Structured Discussions offers.
El objetivo de esta conversación es responder a las preguntas de la comunidad sobre el archivado de Discuciones Estructuradas.
La idea es proceder en dos etapas:
- las páginas de discusión que utilizan DE se archivan como subpáginas. Se sustituyen por una página de discusión clásica. De esta manera, las páginas más activas ya estarán listas cuando avanzemos al paso 2.
- Las DE se eliminan de la wiki. Las páginas existentes (incluidas las archivadas) se convertirán en un formato que aún no se ha definido.
Alentamos a las comunidades a dar el primer paso.
Preguntas para las comunidades
A partir de finales de noviembre de 2023, las comunidades en las que aún se usan las Discuciones Estructuradas se les informará progresivamente sobre la próxima depreciación de estas. Les hacemos las siguientes preguntas:
- ¿Son claras las razones que se han dado para archivar las discusiones estructuradas?
- ¿Están claros los dos pasos descritos anteriormente para archivar y desinstalar las discusiones estructuradas?
- Si es así, ¿cuál es el plazo razonable? Actualmente, no se planea la desinstalación de nuestro lado (aunque se mencione el segundo trimestre de 2024), ya que esperamos el final de estas conversaciones, que tienen lugar en múltiples wikis.
- En su opinión, ¿en qué formato deberían convertirse las páginas que actualmente utilizan DE cuando se proceda a la desinstalación de las Discusiones Estructuradas?

Deprecation timeline
The deprecation will be performed as follows:
- Moving all Flow pages that aren't sub-pages as sub-pages[1]
- First this move is done by users. This way, users of active Flow boards have the opportunity to move active discussions to a classical new talk page.
- At a given date, a script will moves the remaining pages.
- Setting these pages in read-only mode.
- Converting contents to wikitext.
The two first steps are conducted by the Editing team starting October 2024. Wikis have been grouped by phases.
| Phase | Wikis | Moving all Flow pages as sub-pages | Setting Flow pages in read-only mode | Converting contents to wikitext |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 0 | commonswiki, cswiki, enwiki, eowiki, frwiktionary, hewiki, kkwiki, metawiki, pawiki, ruwiki, specieswiki, svwiki, test2wiki, tewiki, nowiki, outreachwiki | Script ran on | not defined | |

| Phase 2a | arwiki, cawiki, frwiki , mediawikiwiki , orwiki, wawiki, wawiktionary, wikidatawiki, zhwiki | to be added | not defined | |
