Flow: Reply links are still functional for Closed Topics
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I created and Closed a test topic: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sandbox&workflow=ru8qtvj1biok1y5b

I then clicked "reply" to the comment, which made the text-area open. I wrote something, and clicked "Preview" which worked. I clicked "Reply"[save], and received this error:

An error occurred.
The error message received was: This topic is closed for any further activities.

Instead, I suggest either:

  • Remove the Reply link completely. [might be confusing]
  • When the Reply link is clicked, open a message/dropdown that says "This topic is closed for any further activities".
  • other?

We're going to remove the Reply and Edit links from a Closed topic (which we're going to rename "Locked" for clarity). Tracked at https://trello.com/c/yftcsYgu/706-2-when-a-topic-is-locked-the-new-close-take-out-all-reply-links-on-that-topic

Should reply be showed at all on a closed topic? I'm guessing not.
