After thinking about: We have Commons. Isn't it a gigantic database too? Can we save etherpads in a kind of Commons database structure?

Relevant chat from #wikimedia-sre

Please remember to close off any test tasks and change the project to Trash to hide the irc output.

Also, wishes is a very undescriptive project name for the shared space that phab is.

Create a wikitech ldap user if you have not yet done so.

Have you created your developer account on idp yet? (It's unrelated to your login to Wikimedia wikis such as Wikipedia, Wikispecies, MediaWiki wiki etc)

Are you logging in as "codeurluce" or "Codeurluce"? gerrit is case sensitive when it comes to logins, i'm not sure if IDM enforces those same rules.

Based on T413623: Add Alembic for Database Migrations I think they are working on the same codebase as the current tool account, they just don't have access to the tool account, to create the project

The project can be created manually via phab, Although this means the relevant links don't display in Striker, In the past I believe @bd808 has done manual db changes to fix this up.

The SRE offboarding script should be able to handle all the privileged groups, individual teams shouldn't need to take action.

My recommendation is to file a request for a new project tag first, before creating tasks, Currently untagged tasks get flagged highly on venues such as IRC.

@Agamyasamuel It appears that Wikicontest tracks their tasks in Github (https://github.com/indictechcom/wikicontest/issues) compared to Phabricator, is there a particular reason this task was created here?

@Shreyal16 This task is one that likely needs the foundations SRE team to look at with how the stack is working, I would suggest looking at tasks tagged with good first task to begin with.

Boldly closing as invalid, as this is working as intended (most user drops downs across MediaWiki will display and work the same).

Sound of Broken Record: If the request for deletion for images relates to something being broken, or tasks about image issues getting filed, it would be really nice that it gets flagged not to be deleted... so people can investigate easier.
