Someone or something is creating (unused) workboards for the release tagger tags: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wmf-deploy-2015-09-08_%281.26wmf22%29/
This is harmful, due to T89865.

@Jdforrester-WMF created that project so he might know. Maybe he chose to clone existing workboards from another project.
This is not a Phabricator code bug hence removing that project.

What are the alternatives? If we don't want to create a workboard at such a project, we have to restrict the edit policy, so no one can create it. But do we want this?

I think that (eventually) upstream will add a way to make certain types of projects use a template

I don't ever create workboards on tag projects; the ability for just anyone to create the boards in an anti-feature in Phabricator, and the failure to log who did it is a bug.

I think a good alternative may be, that we ask upstream to hide the "(backlog)", if there is only one columns at the workboard. What do you think?

Recently created projects like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/1946/ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/1945/ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/1891/ all do not have workboards.
Closing as RESOLVED (as I don't plan to spend time disabling the workboards of archived past wmf-deploy-* projects).
