I'm just concerned about goodwilling users and developers adding these tags to tasks unrelated to Scrum-of-Scrums, unaware of this specific process. If all these tags have a clear template description and you don't mind having to triage some occasional task landing accidentally there, I personally see no problem in this request, as long as all these teams are ready to use them actively (which is the case, as you all have agreed on a process).

Pinging @Aklapper, although we are approaching the RT migration period...

Please use a common format for all these projects: tag icon, yellow background, Title Case, dashes between words.

PS: ah, whoever fixed the labels was fast. :)

Please don't create the "blocked on platform" tag. I'm assuming people mean "Blocked on MediaWiki Core" when they say that.

I went ahead and created the first set of tags.

@Qgil: Your point on adding a clear description is well taken. I added a simple description that emphasizes that it is reserved fur urgent blockers only. I'm sure it can be improved.

Whatever solution we choose can be abused. But hey, I hear people built an encyclopedia by entrusting random strangers with edits. Maybe we can be a bit daring here as well, and re-evaluate if abuse turns out to be a significant problem in practice.

Resolving this request, as the first batch is done.

"Urgent" is not defined.
