Description

Depends on T64324: Visually indicate when a Phabricator user is new (Welcome culture) (being able to identify new Phabricator accounts).

For new Phabricator accounts, link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug at the top of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/ - cf. T103556#1562205

There are enough papers out there about people not reading bug-reporting docs. Still it would not hurt for the small number which does, plus it seems to also depend on the wording of the message (there's a Zimmermann paper about that).

"Did you know that well-written bug reports with enough information get fixed faster by developers? How to write a good bug report."

https://developer.blender.org/rP356a2fe0e8bfc1462366d22f749124f45c03f9c4 was the (now outdated) patch how Blender implemented a custom header on /maniphest/task/create/.

Upstream's new form customization will allow us to add a "Preamble" via /maniphest/task/edit/form/1/

I don't know about doing this only for new accounts but as @Aklapper says, we could customize the form with the new code that's currently deployed on https://phab-01.wmflabs.org
