@AMarkossyan-WMF: It might be an option to close this ticket as invalid and instead add the tag Essential-Work to its "subtasks"

Hey @Aklapper, thanks for the heads-up. Yes, we've seen that tag, but we think we need a separate ticket/Epic for our team unless there's some kind of automation or a process behind the Essential-Work tag.

There are multiple reasons behind it, but the main one is to follow the process we've defined for ourselves, which requires every ticket to belong to an Epic. We'd prefer to avoid using epics for a subset of our tasks and a tag for other tickets, because this adds complexity.

If necessary, we can do both: add the tag and also add the parent.
