Hey, One rather big update on technical aspects of creating new wikis. As of now, if you create a ticket for creating a new wiki, the bot automatically creates some of the important patches and some subtickets for it. It basically creates patches that block us from moving forward (DNS entries, Wikimedia Messages) so we can get them merged and out of the way as soon as possible.
Please don't create patches or subtickets when you request a new wiki until the bot handles them.
Also when creating the ticket, you need to specify the project name in English too like "Japanese Wikivoyage" in a field. I already added that to the template: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:New_wiki_request&d...
Since now the bot can create subtickets and gerrit patches, later I will expand it to do more (like CX, pywikibot, wikidata, ...) but that's good for now.
Best
Thanks for the info. But did anyone of us actually create such patches and subtickets so far?

Someone has to do it, I guess several users in phabricator do it (Jon sometimes does it too). My focus is to reduce the time between creating the wiki ticket and actually creating it and these patches help with that (since they need to be merged, get to branch cut, deployed, ... which usually takes at least a week). The ones that need to be created around the deployment time doesn't matter that much.
