Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly pointed to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get setup for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3

@srishakatux: Removing good first task - please elaborate where and how a complete newcomer could find stuff like "jquery.uls" or "ULS extension" (?) or "Names.php" etc

@Aklapper IMO, the last line in the task description with the link to the example task is sufficient. It includes a list of all repositories where the patch needs to be uploaded.

@srishakatux: I disagree. As a complete newcomer, how am I supposed find "ULS extension" or "jquery.uls" or "language-data"?

Edit: Ah sorry, I am supposed to click links in another task? Hmm, hmm. Okay. :-/
