Jaredzimmerman-WMF changed Security from none to None.

... why would you want to make this group invisible later?

If the research team needs to store sensitive or semi-sensitive data or videos about research participants the group would need to not be public.

It sounds like you want a way to hide tickets and boards rather than the team itself.

For what is worth, private projects (as in projects containing only private tasks) are at the very end of the queue, see T823: Implement Phabricator Spaces.

Specific tasks can be made private, but we still don't have a fluent process to handle that out of security, operations, wmf-nda...

If this is clear, WMF-Design-Research corresponds to an actual WMF team, so having a team project for them is a no brainer.

Yes, we should go ahead and create as a team, and pre-add @aripstra and myself. we can deal with the privacy issues later.

Alright, since now you are in Project-Admins, and you made this proposal, and it looks ok, you can create the project yourself. :)

PS: @Jaredzimmerman-WMF please bring a dash back to #WMF_Design as well. I could not edit these two projects myself due to the restricted policies they have.

@Qgil I can't find the discussion as to why this naming convention was used post migration, can you link to it? I've changed these for now, but after I have a chance to look at the rationalization I might want to talk more. It feels very techy(in a bad way) and dated. But I'm interested in learning more about the rational.

@Jaredzimmerman-WMF There's also a conflict between:
#design at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/design/
#Design at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wmf-design/
I recommend deleting the second. (It doesn't work anyway, the hashtags seem to ignore capitalization. But it might confuse someone in the future.)

If we allowed spaces in project names, referencing a "#project name" in text will not work for these projects (you'd have to know that you have to write "#project_name"), plus entering a URL replacing spaces by %20 HTML entities (instead of underscores) like in http://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/Some%20Project/ will not work. (T283#3526)

@Aklapper that makes sense if phab didn't support aliases but since it does I'm not sure why official names can't have spaces, and aliases can be created with underscores, camelcase, dashes, whatever people want.
