From this week on I'm going to regularly blog
about small & not so easy
to discover functionality in Bugzilla. It's based on conversations with
Wikimedia users & developers in the last months. That's you! ;)
The first one covers Bugzilla's Autocompletion feature:

Neat! :-) Thanks for doing this. I'm looking forward to future posts.
Though it makes me a little sad to see that this content is being

understand it) with the license used on Wikimedia wikis.
Uh, thanks for the hint. I've changed the license to CC BY-SA.
Oh, I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for that!
It's always a balancing act between how much documentation we want to have
on
mediawiki.org for external products/services and how much we want to
rely on the documentation that these services provide. It's a balancing
act for each product or service. I know we certainly had some discussions
about this surrounding (for example) Gerrit. But having the option to host
documentation, tips, tricks, etc. (particularly as I view
mediawiki.org as
a pretty stable environment) is awesome. :-) In addition to stability,
mediawiki.org, and Wikimedia wikis generally, seem to also be developing
and enhancing the ability to translate works easily, which may come in
handy. Probably less so for tips and tricks, but maybe more for basic and
essential documents like how to file a bug, how to request a wiki
configuration change, etc.
