How to see my authored tasks?

I can't find them under Profile -> Tasks where I expected them. I also can't find a filter for task creation in Recent Activity -> View all so that page also can't show my tasks. Prototyperspective (talk) 17:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@Prototyperspective: If logged in, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/authored/ will show you your authored tasks. More generally, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/G8WL7Eibw23S/#R will work for everyone (and you can edit the search field to pick a different user, or filter them e.g. by status). Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 19:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I think a link to that would be good to add to Profile -> Tasks. Prototyperspective (talk) 20:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

No estimation field for administrative request type of tasks

I don't know what this new type is for, but we recently got one on our sprint board and I was not able to add an estimate to it. We estimate all tasks on our board, so this is a problem. Nikerabbit (talk) 06:59, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

"Administrative Request" has been around for at least five years and numerous forms use it. :) Assuming we're talking about T379419, that seems to be about form 115 in Phab. I've now changed "Final Story Points" from "Hidden" to "Visible". AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 11:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

I still see no option to set story points for it. Example: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/380785/ Nikerabbit (talk) 06:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Nikerabbit Uhm, looks like that task used https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/transactions/editengine/maniphest.task/view/39/ instead of form 115, sigh... I also made "Final Story Points" visible for that form now. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 18:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Nikerabbit (talk) 12:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Name change

Hi, I want to rename my name in Phabricator also to „Zolgoyo“, would it be possible? Zolgoyo (talk) 19:33, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, there is no Phabricator account which is linked to a MediaWiki SUL account named "Zolgoyo". AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 23:52, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Remane request

Hi, I would like to rename myself to 阿南之人 (as same as my wiki name) in Phabricator. 阿南之人 (talk) 12:13, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

See Phabricator/Help#Using your global wiki account: your user name cannot contain non-ASCII characters. (Next time please also tell your current Phabricator user name, it makes finding your account much easier.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:59, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi My user id is 36097 while my username is 3301796. I would rename angry_sovietball now. 阿南之人 (talk) 10:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Done. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 23:51, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Rename reuqest

Please, rename me to my Wikiname: Kylaix. Thanks! Kylaix (talk) 22:04, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

@AKlapper (WMF)
I'm sorry for interruption, but hope you can help with that.
Thank you! Kylaix (talk) 05:36, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi, done now.

(Bonus points to anyone who can tell me how to get notified about every change on this very talk page, which worked with the "Flow" page before but does not seem to work with the "StructuredDiscussions" page this is now.) AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 12:53, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Ooo, I will take this bonus points :)
Try to use Convenient Discussions. It works really well with the notifications, but sometimes (if you participate in many topics) you will be overpinged.
Anyway, thank you very much for renaming :) Kylaix (talk) 15:53, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

(Flow and StructuredDiscussions are two names for the same thing. This is DiscussionTools). * Pppery * _{it has begun} 17:14, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

@~aanzx Hi, You mention some project tag in Phabricator and also stuff about your Phabricator account (?). What is your question? AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 12:51, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

You are free to change the associated LDAP account for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Anoop/ at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/external/ . We do not delete Phabricator projects. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 13:02, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

@AKlapper (WMF), Thanks for replying, accounts linked on phabricator is correct but as mentioned in phab:T319500 , on striker my phabricator account is linked to Minato826 developer account, I guess it cant be changed. --~aanzx · ✉ · © 07:21, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

That's a question for a Striker place, I'd say. :) AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 09:28, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Rename request

Hi, could my account be renamed the same as my wiki account: “Danÿa”? Thanks in advance. Danÿa (talk) 12:18, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

@Danÿa Hi, unfortunately Phabricator does not support non-latin letters, you will need to choose an another username to use on Phabricator. Taavi (talk!) 12:30, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Ah bummer 😦, is “Danya” available? Danÿa (talk) 12:36, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
