How to see my authored tasks?

I can't find them under Profile -> Tasks where I expected them. I also can't find a filter for task creation in Recent Activity -> View all so that page also can't show my tasks. Prototyperspective (talk) 17:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@Prototyperspective: If logged in, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/authored/ will show you your authored tasks. More generally, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/G8WL7Eibw23S/#R will work for everyone (and you can edit the search field to pick a different user, or filter them e.g. by status). Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 19:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I think a link to that would be good to add to Profile -> Tasks. Prototyperspective (talk) 20:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

No estimation field for administrative request type of tasks

I don't know what this new type is for, but we recently got one on our sprint board and I was not able to add an estimate to it. We estimate all tasks on our board, so this is a problem. Nikerabbit (talk) 06:59, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

"Administrative Request" has been around for at least five years and numerous forms use it. :) Assuming we're talking about T379419, that seems to be about form 115 in Phab. I've now changed "Final Story Points" from "Hidden" to "Visible". AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 11:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

I still see no option to set story points for it. Example: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/380785/ Nikerabbit (talk) 06:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Nikerabbit Uhm, looks like that task used https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/transactions/editengine/maniphest.task/view/39/ instead of form 115, sigh... I also made "Final Story Points" visible for that form now. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 18:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Nikerabbit (talk) 12:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Name change

Hi, I want to rename my name in Phabricator also to „Zolgoyo“, would it be possible? Zolgoyo (talk) 19:33, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, there is no Phabricator account which is linked to a MediaWiki SUL account named "Zolgoyo". AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 23:52, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

@AKlapper (WMF) This is the account. Zolgoyo (talk) 18:19, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

PS: Is it possible to delete account? If yes, this is a better way. I don't want to have a account or create a different one. Zolgoyo (talk) 18:32, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

The account has been active so we will not delete it as that destroys the activity history. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 07:08, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

@AKlapper (WMF) Can I change the E-Mail there? Zolgoyo (talk) 16:39, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes, in your settings. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 17:01, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, done now.

Ooo, I will take this bonus points :)
Try to use Convenient Discussions. It works really well with the notifications, but sometimes (if you participate in many topics) you will be overpinged.
Anyway, thank you very much for renaming :) Kylaix (talk) 15:53, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Change in MediaWiki-Watchlist ownership in Phabricator

The Growth team was previously the maintainer of the Watchlist, but the Moderator Tools team is now the maintainer:Maintainers List change.

Can we make a silent change to remove the Growth-team tag from Watchlist tasks?

I've already updated recently reported bugs and issues, but there is a LARGE backlog of Watchlist tasks that aren't urgent. Rather than overloading the Moderator Tools team with 200+ old Watchlist tasks or spamming people subscribed to every Watchlist task, I'm wondering if I can get help running a silent Phab update:

1. Remove MediaWiki-Watchlist from this Herald rule: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/H437 (so we don't bombard the Moderator Tools team with 200+ old Watchlist tasks)
2. Silently remove Growth-team from all MediaWiki-Watchlist tasks.
3. Re-add MediaWiki-Watchlist to this Herald rule: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/H437 (so the Moderator Tools team is automatically tagged on any new tasks, and added to any old task that gets updated.

Thanks! -- KStoller-WMF (talk) 02:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

Should Growth-Team-Filtering also be included in the same silent removal? Pppery (alt) (talk) 22:27, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

Ah, good point. Yes, ideally we are also silently removing the Growth-Team-Filtering from all MediaWiki-Watchlist tasks. KStoller-WMF (talk) 21:15, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm going to do this now via a silent batch-edit. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 10:52, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Setting up Herald rules

Hi there!

I would like to set up Herald rules for related project boards. I saw that you mentioned not setting up personal herald rules due to performance reasons in the Help page, but I would like to confirm that applies to team/board level rules. Similarly, if team level rules are acceptable (eg: when task is added to X board, also add it to Y board for visibility), then I would like guidance on how to set them up.

For more information, I specifically would like the #MW-Interfaces-Team tag to be added to all tasks that are added to:

• MediaWiki-REST-API
• MediaWiki-Action-API
• ApiFeatureUsage
• MediaWiki-MergeHistory
• MediaWiki-Page-deletion
• MediaWiki-Revision-deletion
• MediaWiki-Core-Hooks
• WMF-JobQueue

This would allow us to get rid of manual workflows to review and reconcile our areas of ownership. It would also be nice if I could self-manage these rules, as our team responsibilities and maintenance ownership does tend to change over time. HCoplin-WMF (talk) 13:17, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

@HCoplin-WMF: You can use @ASarabadani (WMF)'s excellent Phabricator-maintenance-bot for this, which is what we use for Abstract, without load on the Phab servers. The rules are configured at https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/ladsgroup/Phabricator-maintenance-bot/-/blob/master/project_grouper.py?ref_type=heads. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 14:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Amazing. This should work. Thank you for the guidance! I will edit that directly. HCoplin-WMF (talk) 14:12, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
