Summary

Scriptorium

As you probably know, each topic on a Flow board is stored on a separate page. When the board is deleted, I don't know what happens to the topic pages, but certainly when looking at the deleted history of w:en:Wikipedia:Article request workshop, which was a Flow board, you can see only the board header but not any of the topics. This might just be a bug, but it's a pretty critical one... What would happen when, say, a work and therefore its talk page is deleted? What happens on undeletion???

Also, I don't really find that subtopics (i.e. the use of H3 or lower headings within a topic) are very easy to follow at all, especially when people are updating more than a couple of the different branches of discussion.
A couple of other points: it'd be nice to be able to mark discussions as 'resolved' sometimes; archive pages are fine once they exist, but until a thread has been moved to it's archive page, there's no way to link to it in a permanent fashion

Not only will a lot more people then be shown what works we desire (or need wikifying/subsectioning/whatever) , but each person who sees it is also a lot more likely to take the ten minutes to remove something from the template as "completed" than they would be to go remove an article from the same tucked-away corner of WS where people ask for the Star Wars scripts.
