Under discussion

Daniel: Phab:T124752

Let’s turn the “Changes Tags” refactoring proposed by Cenarium into an RFC and get it unstuck. Chain of patches starts at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/201905/64; The patch refers to Phab:T91535 but the topic is broader than that, and the ticket doesn’t fully describe the proposed solution. Needs work.

Tim: shepherding two for Parser. will pick another

Roan: Phab:T108655 still need to split it so discussion can take place on part 2
