Set up dumping Phabricator's project taxonomy to a wiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

A bug tracker ago, @Aklapper set up a cron job to inform him of changes in the Bugzilla taxonomy. On wikitech-l, I proposed to (additionally) dump the taxonomy regularly to a wiki so that normal users can watch changes as well and was asked to file an enhancement request.

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/query/all/ looks like a list of all projects and is probably queriable via an API as well. For the target on the wiki side, there is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Projects but its purpose is unclear.

Cf. T833

https://github.com/wikimedia/labs-tools-wikibugs2/blob/master/taxonomy.py writes https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Projects/Test
but needs to be set up as a weekly cron job, and needs to be adapted to a better page, e.g. just /Projects.

Which data / changes are you specifically interested in?
As you link to that cron job (which I didn't set up myself), that cronjob for Bugzilla showed newly registered users (email addresses) and project creations/renames to me. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Projects is very similar for the project part.

There is not much taxonomy in the context of Phabricator. What is expected here?

Qgil moved this task from To Triage to Need discussion on the Phabricator board.Dec 21 2014, 10:01 PM

I'm interested in being informed about project creations, renames and deletions (don't know if Phabricator allows to delete projects). If "subprojects" were designated by something other than their name (i. e., if Phabricator defined a parent/child relationship for projects), I'd like to be informed about changes in that graph as well.

Heh, I created T85183 yesterday (getting that info via email). I guess this task depends on it.

(don't know if Phabricator allows to delete projects).

No it does not. Only archiving.

If "subprojects" were designated

Yes, that fits very nicely what I thought it would look like.
