Hey,
The _F_APPENDONLY was meant to be something like the _F_READONLY, so while
this is yet not implemented I would say you shouldn't use it for the thread
plugin.

If your issue was about preventing thread pages to get clicked independent from
the pages they're attached to I would rather recommend using _F_DISABLED
or _F_BINARY eventually even _F_SYSTEM or unsetting _F_TEXT.
But for the distinguishing purpose, you're right, there should be a better
solution.
If it wasn't sometimes that large I'd say we could let SEARCH and GETALL return
the {meta} besides the {flags}. Eventually we should even add support for
SEARCHing in multiple database fields (but that's complicated and far away...)
Right now I could only suggest using the $dbquery_result->get("_ALL") trick to
fetch the whole database entry together with the SEARCH results.
If you think the regex doesn't distinct the thread pages not exactly enough from
other stuff in the database, so this was important enough, you could of course
invent your own EWIKI_DB_F_CONSTANT. We then only needed to negotiate on
the bit range (I hereby reserve all prime number bits for myself ;)
I don't think "user flag values" is the best thing to do here, but as temporary
workaround it would be ok?
Greets,
