I don't think we should port Template:Tracked as we are going to redirect show_bug.cgi URLs from Bugzilla to Phabricator (T65) so links should still work.

Instead, proposing to introduce Template:TrackedInPhabricator (better name? sigh) to supersede/deprecate Template:Tracked:

<includeonly><div style="float: {{{float|right}}}; clear: {{{float|right}}}; border:1px solid #999; {{border-radius|0.5em}} background-color:#eee; {{linear-gradient|top|#ddd,#eee}} font-size:85%; text-align:center; padding:0.5em; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em; width: 12em;" class="plainlinks {{#if:{{{1|}}}|mw-trackedInPhabTemplate}}">Tracked in [//phabricator.wikimedia.org/ Phabricator]<br />{{#if:{{{1|}}}|'''[[phabricator:{{{1}}}|<span class="tracktask-{{{1}}}">Task {{{1}}}</span>]]'''}}
{{#switch:{{lc:{{{2|}}}}}
|fixed=<span style="color: green; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;">Resolved fixed</span>
|declined=<span style="color: black; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;">Resolved declined</span>
|invalid=<span style="color: black; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;">Resolved invalid</span>
|duplicate=<span style="color: black; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;">Resolved duplicate</span>
}}
</div></includeonly><noinclude>
{{documentation}}
</noinclude>

(Statuses in template above as defined in T359.)

Obviously using this new template requires adding the "phabricator:" interwiki link to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map first; also see T284.

The Tracked template (and associated gadget) should be agnostic about where the bug lives. It should be easy to distinguish; all Fabricator tickets seem to start with "T".

Oh man, you make a damn good point. True that! Thanks!

Now if somebody who understands templates (because I don't, I'd just end up with cargo cult programming) feels like editing the existing code to make it check the passed parameter for either digits only or for a capital T at the first position, that would be pretty awesome, and that edit could be done already before Day 1 of Phabricator. Nice.

I will try and get the sandbox version of the template working, But someone (Technical13?) else will have to take care of the gadget JS.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Tracked seems to be functional, except for the interwiki map part, which belongs to Create T454.

This all done now?

I left this comment in the discussion page:

The interwiki part is now done, and both phabricator: and phab: are enabled. The link in the template does point to valid Phabricator pages, but it looks red and it appends "?action=edit&redlink=1" to the URL.

Ok, for clarity, here we ended up discussing the {{tracked}} template, which can be operative without the gadget (even if then loses any smartness.

In order to isolate the gadget discussion, I created T539: Adapting Gadget-BugStatusUpdate.js to Phabricator, and now all the interesting beef about the gadget itself is there. Sorry for the confusion, I will edit the description here slightly.

For the records, there is a public call for help in Tech News 2014-41: "Some wikis have a template to track bugs in Bugzilla. You should update it to work with Phabricator. You can look at the one on mediawiki.org to see how."
