The project would track all problems related to the "Live preview" feature that can be enabled in the preferences under "Editing".
Description on MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Live_preview
Supersedes a tracking task T41272, tasks in which are unreadable right now.
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T192655 Replace all "tracking" tasks with tags/projects (if unbounded), relabel them to outcome tasks (if bounded), or kill them entirely (if pointless) | |||
| Open | None | T192074 Create a new component project: MediaWiki-Live-preview and replace T41272 |
Normally I'd just use https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/sPpQV.7vXBLk/#R but sure.
Should we make it a sub-project of MediaWiki-Page-editing ?
That’s not user-friendly, to be fair. I am discovering this link only from you now, when a dedicated project could’ve been found already. I see that this link is located in Search dropdown, but still, it is a way that has to be found by a user, when projects are available everywhere.
Regarding the second question, at your discretion.
I'd also opt for it to be under MediaWiki-Page-editing, preferably as either a plain workboard column, or perhaps as "milestone" subproject so that it continues to be manageable through a single workboard. (differences). Using a "milestone" subproject also has the benefit of allowing simple search queries and allowing it to be tagged directly from task creation.
There's merely word semantics, though. I don't see that as a problem. They also work well on #services, #TechCom-RFC, and #perf-team. In the end, both sub-projects and milestones have their own quirks in different edge cases. But for mutually exclusive board columns, a milestone is an upgrade from a workboard column (gets us: search, task creation, sub-workboard, etc.), whilst avoiding the downsides that sub-projects normally bring.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Project_management/Tracking_tasks regarding T41272 if someone decides to go ahead.
Unaware of this, I just were annoyed because of the hugenedd of MediaWiki-Page-editing and moved all open tasks to a separate workboard column.
There is already a "Live preview" column on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/139/ and I'd like to avoid duplication.
Yes, I was going to archive that column in favor of a milestone, which should still be visible on the workboard
@DannyS712: So I kind of object, I guess. (At least to adding more duplication.) :) Plus not sure myself if this would qualify as a subproject of MediaWiki-Page-editing. Where we'd end up again as a column on the MediaWiki-Page-editing board...
A difference between project/subproject/goal and a plain workboard column is that workboard columns cannot be watched, while the others can. I’d probably watch live preview-related tasks, but I don’t want to get spammed with all editing-related stuff.
I closed T41272: Bugs in "Live preview" feature (tracking), without prejudice to further agreement to spin the current column out to a separate board or subboard.
