Some very specific Maniphest search queries by RelEng, Sec Team and WMCS are global and shown for all users

Description

I recently showed a new employee Phabricator and among the things we looked at was tasks in Maniphest. One thing that I noticed was that the first thing that you see when you go to Maniphest is a search query called "Wikimedia-Incident - To Triage column". While this is probably very relevant to some, I think that most people would like to have something else there (I believe that authored or subscribed tasks was default at some point). Especially if you've just started working with Phabricator and click "Tasks & Bugs" on the left, being greeted by "something something incident" could be a bit scary.

Thanks for reporting this. Indeed, those queries are listed on top of "Global Saved Queries" on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/edit/
I have changed the default order for now.

Not sure if we have any shared understanding which queries should be "global" or not, at least I don't see any non-RelEng queries for specific teams anywhere.

Oops, those are mine. I wonder if I can convert them to non-global? Their mostly just used on my own personal dashboard....

See sidebar on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/advanced/ as a fresh default user, listing lots of SecTeam stuff and RelEng stuff plus one "WMCS extended backlog" query.

Hey @Aklapper - I reviewed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/advanced/ and the Security-Team related searches all just seem to point to our various workboard columns. Any protected tasks within those searches should still be protected. I don't know how or why these searches were added to that left nav, but I'm pretty sure they can be removed if they are cluttering things up.
