Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions/Flow

It looks like I can only edit my own messages. I think this is really unfortunate, because on a wiki, there are plenty of valid reasons to edit other people messages. For instance:

• a message contains something that breaks the layout of the page (a template with a syntax error, a gigantic picture).
• a message contains a broken link to an article or a discussion.
• new users often post messages without realizing that what they write will stay public for ever, and give e-mail adresses, personal phone numbers, etc. I usually remove those, although I don't want to hide the whole message in such cases.
• less common case: replace every occurrence of the real name of a user on the wiki, after a user rename request.

Orlodrim: Thanks for the feedback, on this experimental point. There are notes about it in the docs at Flow/FAQ#Will we be able to edit other people's posts? and in the table at Flow/FAQ#Components of the discussion system (under "Comment editing"), with a lot of detail in the linked subpage Flow/Editing comments.

I won't try to re-summarize that info (See the final "#Conclusion" section in that last link, for the TL;DR version), but I will note that: User Rename requests will be automagically handled much better than they are now - see this example topic. HTH. :)
