Just to be sure, I hope you are not referring to T182059 which has not been resolved yet.

A fair criticism.
The task I should have linked to was probably: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T163472
Particularly this subtask: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182197
T182059 is still being worked on!
I also asked the team product manager to add links for items that didn't reference any documentation or tasks in the archive. Once they're added them they'll be at the archive of the update at the link below. My apologies for not adding them sooner!
