By the sounds of it, the logging on will (probably) be done with your regular Wikipedia
account. I suspect linking will be done with a phabricator: prefix. I've looked at the
beta version, and it seems easy enough to report bugs, and seems like an improvement on
the old system.

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Phabricator is coming,Bugzilla is leaving
Quim, can you point me to a well-written, useful page that describes the steps needed to
report a bug in Phabricator? This needs to include the steps to register an account
(assuming that is necessary) all the way through to how to link to the bug on the WM wiki
where it may be being discussed.

This intro in the
http://fab.wmflabs.org homepage answers to your questions, and it will
be kept in the Wikimedia Phabricator instance in production:
Getting Things Done
Wikimedia Phabricator is a collaboration platform to plan projects, complete tasks, and
solve problems. Building
better open source software is our primary purpose. Non-technical projects are welcome as
well.
So yes, the door is open, and technically there is nothing stopping to non-technical teams
to request a Phabricator project already now. However, currently we are not pitching this
idea strongly because we expect enough... entropy with the huge wave of Bugzilla users
that will come at once by Day 1. We'd rather let these tech users smooth the path for
the rest.
Conclusion: let's focus first in making sure that Phabricator works as a replacement
of Bugzilla, a goal that undoubtedly will help non-technical users and projects in the
near future.
