Description

Not particularly popular: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/countdown/query/all/

TODO:

Uninstall in the UI via https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/applications/view/PhabricatorCountdownApplication/
Add to default settings via patch in GitLab: "phabricator.uninstalled-applications" in https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/phabricator/deployment/-/blob/wmf/stable/scap/templates/phabricator/conf/local/local.json.j2
Check that "Local Config" at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/config/edit/phabricator.uninstalled-applications/ reflects this - N/A because it's a mess anyway, see T398460 etc

Q: but why it's a small app and doesn't create any problems or much maintenance
A: I enjoy less complexity as a maintainer.

(For the record, it seems like the Countdown application was re-installed on 2026-05-06?)

Uff, thanks for catching that. Now I wonder what I did on that Wednesday...maybe I mixed up testing stuff on my local test instance with production, finally? :-(
Uninstalled again, and I should finally sync the repo settings with the production settings of phabricator.uninstalled-applications, because it's all a mess.
