An introduction to Phabricator, where the developers are
Wikimania 2019

[[mw:Phabricator|Wikimedia Phabricator]] is the main software tool used to collaborate on technical work and coordinate technical project management in Wikimedia. Phabricator is the place where * anyone can [[mw:How to report a bug|report software problems or feature requests]] in MediaWiki and MediaWiki extensions, * communities [[meta:Requesting wiki configuration changes|request configuration changes on their Wikimedia sites]], * Edit-a-thon organizers [[meta:Mass account creation#Requesting temporary lift of IP cap|request exceptions for the limit which defines how many people at the same location in a certain time frame can create a user account]]. However, as Phabricator is not MediaWiki, it can take a bit of effort to learn how to use it. This session provides a basic introduction to Phabricator. It will cover how you can create an account, how you can report software bugs and request configuration changes for your community, and how you can follow work that interests you.
