The Release-Engineering-Team of the Wikimedia Foundation just deployed an upgrade of Wikimedia Phabricator.

It includes a few changes:

• Autocomplete proposals in tasks: List involved users first
• User Profiles:
  • Projects box: Always show "View All" button and number of projects
  • History: Expose previous names of renamed users to admins only
• User settings:
  • Personal API Token field: Auto-select token on click
  • Never show annoying timezone offset notification when user set UTC
• Tasks: Restore "subtask created" entry creation in parent task timeline
• Conduit API:
  • Fix HTTP 200 error setting non-string task points
  • Add many missing parameter descriptions to the docs
  • Convert numerous "Frozen" methods to Deprecated methods
  • Convert nearly all Unstable methods to Stable
  • (admins only) Allow filtering call logs by caller type (e.g. bots)
• Search:
  • Fix using Typeahead Custom Fields (e.g. "Other Assignee")
  • Project search: Make results adhere to project status dropdown value
• UI: Replace ambiguous "owner" strings with "assignee" or "author"
• Flags UI: Replace PNG flag images with SVG versions
• File Transforms: Hide "Available Transforms" when none are supported
• Dashboards: Chart Panels: Add proper chart key validation at least
• (admins only) Projects: Expose users' MFA status in Project Members list
• (admins only) Config: Display each setting's config source on All Settings page
• Misc bug fixes, code cleanup, CSS cleanup, etc.

Downstream dependency tree of tasks: T404375: Update to Phorge upstream / Arcanist upstream to 2025-11-12 code

Upstream changelogs:

• https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/history/master/
• https://we.phorge.it/source/arcanist/history/master/

We also recently deployed some changes to reduce the load created by aggressive web crawlers: Browsing code repositories in Diffusion asks for login, and viewing project workboards requires login. This creates some inconvenience for users but helps us to keep services available.
