Description

Quoting https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects#Good_practices_for_name_and_description :

Phabricator is a public place. Describe the project in a way that allows anybody, also outside of the community, to clearly understand what the project is about.
Add links to the relevant project pages so anybody can find more information.

The following CPT subprojects/milestone workboards currently have no description:

Thanks in advance!

Event Timeline

thanks @Aklapper, @BPirkle and @CCicalese_WMF we'll review during out initiative status meeting.

Hmm, why is this task in the icebox of "Decision Making" (I don't see any decisions to make at all here, just documenting projects by adding a sentence and a link)?
Why is it not in scope for the Platform Engineering team to document Platform Engineering's projects (as that tag was removed)?

Platform Engineering was removed because the task is on another Platform Engineering Team workboard, Platform Engineering Roadmap Decision Making. We use milestone columns because they have some features that regular columns do not have which are helpful in tracking our tasks. But, we are not using them as full blown milestones or subprojects. Some of them could probably use a couple of words of description, but most of them function purely as fancy columns on a parent workboard.

@CCicalese_WMF: I see, thanks. Could someone please add those missing project descriptions, to reduce mis-tagging tasks (it's way harder for a reporter to understand which project tags to add when the project search preview lists no descriptions), and to allow people and potential contributors outside of a team to understand the bigger picture of those tasks on such workboards? Thanks in advance.
