From Phabricator to Phorge
Wikimedia Phabricator switched to the Phorge upstream codebase

Wikimedia had been using the Phabricator software since 2014 for project planning and task tracking. In June 2021, the company behind upstream Phabricator stopped operations.
In response, numerous Phabricator users started a community fork, taking a copy of the original free and open Phabricator source code to continue developing it under the project name Phorge.

The Wikimedia Phabricator instance had not caught up with all the changes in Phorge until lately.
After some preparation and testing functionality to make sure that Wikimedia's custom changes in the codebase will also work well with Phorge, on August 23rd, 2023, the Wikimedia Release Engineering Team migrated the codebase behind Wikimedia Phabricator from an older version of upstream Phabricator to a recent version of upstream Phorge:

Deploying the new version via scap

We now benefit again from improvements made by the larger Phorge community and it has become easier to contribute to Phorge development ourselves.

Enjoy some Phorge bug fixes and enhancements now also available in Wikimedia Phabricator!
