With the recent conversion of Bugzilla to Phabricator, I requested the
conversion[1] of our tracking bug to be a project[2], with the basic
premise that a [tag = project], and we are a community working across
multiple languages, and that some of our individual efforts spread
outside of Wikisource, and sometimes the outer efforts flow inside.
Anyway part of the discussion comes to the point that we are not
unique among the sisters with that request/idea, and there is a
thought about nomenclature, for which the following post points to
that aspect.
Being a person of simple thoughts, I would be happy for our project to
be called (wait for it) ... Wikisource, though that doesn't allow for
any future aspects, and others will have valuable input. So I point
you to the general nomenclature discussion [3] and my specific request
[1] that is lacking a name in the request.
Regards, Billinghurst
PS. Apologies for the noise for those who are already cc'd the phabricator post.

I have no idea what "radar" means here.
A "Wiktionary" project in phabricator could also be a project used by
the Wiktionary community to organize their work. This is why I'm
proposing "-Radar" to identify tags used to collect tasks //on the
radar// of a community. Could be another word, or could be no word if
you think it's not needed.
Tags aren't inherently "more elegant"
than tracking bugs. For instance,
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T43492 used to be an
on-wiki page, which I converted to a tracking bug, which worked well because cc'ing
yourself is equivalent to watchlisting a page. Watching a project, instead, brings you a
ton of notifications for all tasks past and future: yes, there side ways but they're
not as easy.
So, if the aim is to *replace* on-wiki lists,
let's make this the summary.
Fair point. A notification like "Send me an email when a task is
assigned to projects X, Y, Z" is possible with Herald
(
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T630), and I expect most advanced
users to set one for themselves to fill the current gap of
notifications between joining (almost no notification) and watching
(all notifications) a project.
In any case, you are right that the main change is to move on-wiki
lists of tasks to Phabricator. I have edited the description to make
this more clear.
I think nowadays an own tag project is a better solution for a new
list, but tracking tasks also do the work, and they are indeed easier
to subscribe to. Maybe the difference is whether you want to organize
the tasks tracked in a workboard or not.
Then ask one by one what their requirements are for
such a replacement. Adding *additional* lists, instead, is out of question.
The maintainers of these lists are CCed here, please help if I have
missed someone.
I guess you mean that i.e. it is out of question to create a
Commons-Radar project paralel to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bugs still exists?
Absolutely. New lists could be started by communities that have none,
though.
