This is generally a nice idea, of course, but in the specific case of parser bugs, we already have a keyword for that
This assumes that all parser-related bugs already have that keyword. By asking people to put parser bugs that they thought merited notice on the triage agenda, we've found these, previously un-tagged, parser bugs:
Preceding text and single apostrophes are not included in links https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/468
[[#foo|]], [[/bar|]] should be equivalent to [[#foo|foo]], [[/bar|bar]] (new use of "pipe trick") https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/845
Newline as list item terminator is troublesome https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/1115
Need method for multiparagraph list items, continuing numbered lists, and assigning specific numbers to list items https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/1584
External URL syntax cannot handle square brackets https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/3695
Blank lines at the top of an article should be ignored https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/4161
Block element written inline splits multiline paragraphs https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/5718
Now, granted, these are older bugs that might pre-date the “parser” keyword but now we've got them.
I think this sort of community involvment in sifting through the huge pile of bugs is just what we need to help us find these sorts of hidden gems.
Mark.
