Sorry for the confusion!
I'm very interested in people's frustrations around Phabricator, because I think they're probably stopping quite a few people from being able to engage there with Wikimedia software development at large.
To log in, you just need to already be logged in to Wikipedia (or any other wiki) and then go to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/login/ and select the "Log In or Register / MediaWiki" button (the left one).
It'll send you to mediawiki.org and you'll get a popup asking for you to authorize Phabricator. Say yes, and you'll be sent back to Phabricator, and now you'll be logged in. Then, when you look at any ticket, there'll be a comment box at the bottom! (I hope.)
:) And do shout out with any problems you encounter or confusions you find, because you're certainly not alone with finding Phabriactor bewildering.
