"MediaWiki extensions > BetaFeatures" already exists in Bugzilla so the project will get imported here. If the request is different from that component, could you elaborate?

When is the extension to project import happening?

Qgil claimed this task.

Since https://bugzillapreview.wmflabs.org/tag/mediawiki_extensions-betafeatures/ will come with the Bugzilla migration, and in the meantime related bugs are being handled there, it is better to wait for the migration.

If there is an urgent need to have this tag here and now, let's talk. In the meantime I'm resolving as Declined.

Sorry, didn't see your comment while I was writing mine.

The Bugzilla import comes with the official launch, or vice versa. We haven't been able to commit to a launch date yet, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator#Migration_timeline
