Merging threads with articles

When I upgraded to version 4 of VW, discussion on articles (which were originally threads) didn't carry over to the new article system. So the discussions are now on old, separate threads, not on the discussion section of the article itself.

Can a forum thread and an article be merged, thus making the forum thread the articles' discussion tab?

If your VaultWiki 3 discussions were posted as replies to the article, they should have been imported automatically. If you had discussions as separate threads from the article, there is not currently a way to move/import those. We do want to add a tool for moving threads/posts into the wiki, though.

I have changed this to a feature request, since I think the current feature request for this just covers importing posts and wiki pages, not discussions.

They were definitely originally replies to the article; but no, they weren't imported automatically.

If you haven't uninstalled VaultWiki 3 yet, I should be able to try to import the replies if they weren't imported correctly. If VaultWiki 3 is already uninstalled, it will be more challenging. Just let me know if the login credentials from your previous ticket are still good and I will have a look.

VW3 was uninstalled a long time ago. The login credentials should still be good, but I honestly don't recall if they've changed since. Some of the discussion threads did end up getting moved or renamed in the meantime, though.
