• Deskana raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.
• Deskana updated the task description. (Show Details)
• Deskana added a project: Phabricator.
• Deskana added subscribers: • Deskana, mxn.
• Deskana set Security to None.

Note that if I try to add a link to my own username instead of @mxn, it works. Perhaps this is because I am a member of the project and @mxn is not?

Aklapper triaged this task as Medium priority.

This may be a duplicate of T121071, and resolved upstream if so.

Aklapper claimed this task.

This problem cannot be reproduced anymore as I could just edit the project description. Closing as resolved.
