Question about subprojects policy

4
Deniz Erdogan (WMDE) (talkcontribs)

Hello all, I have a question around creating subprojects. I've come across

- Phabricator/Project management#Types of Projects

- Phabricator/Creating and renaming projects#Creating new projects

But I'm a bit confused on the guidelines regarding "Projects" vs "Subprojects". For instance, currently in the wikibase.cloud team we are discussing the option of a "tag" (in form of a subproject) that would be useful to us for indicating an approval process of deployments. Basically my question is: are we good to just create subprojects as we desire under https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/subprojects/5563/ or should this come with some proposal/discussion beforehand?

Thanks

@Deniz Erdogan (WMDE) Hej, our terminology isn't great... Tags (as in "yellow color and tag icon" project tags) are ideally supposed to be cross-codebase stuff, like "internationalization issues" or "accessbility issues or" such.

I usually point to Phabricator/Project management#Parent Projects, Subprojects and Milestones for the pros and cons of subprojects but I see that some already exist. So if your new (sub)project isn't in the scope of being yellow per Phabricator/Project management#Types of Projects then you're good to go ahead (if I understand your plans correctly). And thanks for asking - appreciated!

Hope I understood you correctly, I now created this Wikibase Cloud subproject https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/7250/

---

On another note, I noticed that I made some mistakes some time ago: as you can see here we currently now have two active subprojects under our parent project: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/subprojects/5563/

But when I created some "sub"projects for our components I mistakenly created some that are not subprojects but projects:

- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6965/

- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6964/

- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6963/

Is it possible to change these to subprojects of our parent project?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@Deniz Erdogan (WMDE) The "To Approve" tag is interesting - I guess I would have more foreseen that as a workboard column (but of course there are many ways how to organize workboards and this might not fit). :)

We do not convert anymore parent projects to subprojects as the script doing that was buggy and created DB corruption. We can however archive these parent projects, create new subprojects, and silently mass-move all tickets accordingly (especially as none of them have workboards). If that's wanted, feel free to file a task under #Phabricator - thanks!

Hi, I asked you not to do that; after that you did it again, so No for the time being.

I wish you'll find Wikimedia venues to which you can contribute - it's a large project with great communities!

See my previous comment here: intentionally (!) posting unhelpful information after getting warned is not welcome, no. (Furthermore, you only recently started to comment on Phabricator, so I do not think it is an important venue for whatever usecases you have.)

RohithReddy1234 (talkcontribs)

Actually I am an Intern at the IndicWiki Project.

Our mentor said to join any of the Tasks and get familiar to the with Phabricator.

So that's why I tried it in that way. I thought that AI tools can also helpful in the troubleshooting the issues.

I got to know that AI tools are doing the waste of the time.

so please excuse me for this time I will not repeat I swear.

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi, I asked you not to do that; after that you did it again, so No for the time being.

RohithReddy1234 (talkcontribs)

But, at that time it happened like that!!

I swear, I will not commit the same mistake.

Please understand everyone will learn from their mistakes. Now I do understand what the mistake I have committed please forgive me and help me with this.

I will not do the same mistake, I will obey and follow all the things guided by the experienced tutotrs/mentors.

Please help me unblock me.

Today at 7pm we are having meeting in zoom tutorials for Phabricator, I will not commit the mistake.

Please sir, please sir I won't do anything like this.

ToadetteEdit (talkcontribs)

When trying to access the Herald subpage, it displays an error: Access Denied: Restricted Application You do not have permission to view this object. Users with the "Can View" capability: This object has a custom policy controlling who can take this action.

What does it means and why am I somewhat restricted? What are the requirements?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi, the application is restricted (not you) due to past vandalism when anyone could use it. If you think that you have a need to set up automated filter rules via Herald, please elaborate. Thanks a lot! See also Phabricator/Help/Herald Rules for more info.
