Template talk:Phab
| This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Phab template. |
|
 | Template:Phab is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |
Label parameter
editCan we please get a |label= parameter added to this template, for backwards compability with {{bug}} and easier upgrading? Thanks. — Scott • talk 17:57, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Please sync with the sandbox to add support for multiple items and a label per consensus at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 September 16#Template:Bug. All changes have been tested at Template:Phab/testcases. --Trialpears (talk) 11:27, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Citing multiple tickets doesn't handle optional "T"
editI discovered experimentally (the docs don't mention this) that you can cite multiple tickets at once: T318600 • T318633 • T318568. But, only on the first one is an optional "T" prefix handled properly, i.e. T318600 • TT318633 • TT318568. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:25, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
New Phab template in itwiki with cute Icons
editWe may want to take inspiration to this Phabricator template on itwiki, that has also nice icons :D
w:it:Template:Phab#Esempi - check examples!
Here, main differences between itwiki and enwiki template:
| Local Template:Phab | w:it:Template:Phab | |
|---|---|---|
| nice icons | Not supported | Supported |
| Mockup, Paste, Tags | Not supported | Supported |
| just numbers | Supported | Not supported by design |
| multiple tasks | Unofficially Supported (Undocumented) | Not supported by design |
| "article/art" prefix | Supported | Not supported by design |
| template code | more complicated | more simple (KISS principle) |
With this overview, I think that here, on enwiki, we have the possibility to simplify a bit the template, with the purpose to give more features in the future. For example, I think that the feature "just numbers" is a bit too much complicated to maintain here on enwiki (look at the source code of the template) just for the benefit of... not writing a "T"... or mentioning multiple tasks (that was undocumented, by the way...).
So I would like to deprecate the "just numbers" option in the enwiki template, at least. This MAY dramatically simplify the addition of new features (like, icons). Bozz (talk) 09:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Edited: also, I would like to officially discourage the undocumented feature of mentioning multiple tasks...
If we do NOT want to remove the above "features", I'm inclined to propose a rewrite in Lua. Or, we can create a completely different template called "Phablink"... to provide the features available in intwiki (that are, icons, and possibility to mention other things)... --Bozz (talk) 09:49, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
