Summary of requests: software enhancements

Two-factor authentication

Extension:OATHAuth is an extension that adds the functionality of two-factor authentication to the Wiki. Would be a nice touch to security and to keep up with the times. Using it would remain optional and nothing would change for the users unless they choose to enable it themselves (disabled by default), so we won't see another Flow-talkpage-bad-please-remove situation here.

Dark mode

Dark mode extension for a softer look on the eyes. I personally use an extension already because I can't stand editing and when the page reloads and flashbangs me. It's an optional button and you scan switch which elements will be dark and which won't. Might cause trouble with images with 1px borders though.

Taking requests for converting talk pages back to regular 'ol wikitext

Hi folks, I've switched off the flow talk page thing for new talk pages. Digging in, it doesn't appear there's an easy way to automatically convert existing talk pages that are using Flow back to regular wiki text. There is a maintenance script to give me the wikitext for a particular page, but it's a manual job to then delete the existing talk page and create a new one with that wiki text. That could be automated but as it involves deletions it'd end up being pretty risky, and hell to clean up if anything goes wrong. I'll spend some time thinking about whether that's worth exploring.

In the mean time, if there are any pages you'd like converting please drop them below. I'll check back regularly (Valve time) and work through them.
