The templates should/shall still work after switching to Phab, because Bugzilla bug report URLs will redirect to their corresponding Phab tickets (see T65).
However we will also need (adpated? new?) templates once we allow creating new tickets in Phab only.

Not sure what's the best way forward here. :-/

Steps I see here:

0) As we redirect show_bug.cgi URLs from Bugzilla to Phabricator (T65) we should keep the current template. See my same comment in T285#13.

1. Add "phabricator:" interwiki link to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map (required for next steps)
2. Not sure if porting/introducing a replacement for Template:Bug is worth it. At least I have never used it plus people loved to use {{bug:}} instead to accidentially end up linking to Buginese Wikipedia. If we wanted to, I'd replace "bug" by "task" to keep consistent terminology.
3. Introduce Template:Phabricator to supersede/deprecate Template:Bugzilla:

These templates could be created in mediawiki.org already now, and we could test them against fab.wmflabs.org. @jdforrester, are you still willing to volunteer?

Agreed with creating {{task}}. There's already {{tasks}} (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13420881), but maybe that isn't a huge deal.

+1, but I'm not the right person to volunteer for that, I'd flail around too much.

Removing @jdofrrester from Assigned just to avoid involuntary cookie-licking. James, feel free to prove me wrong!

Any takers on these MediaWiki template related tasks? As far as I can see they have no blockers from the Wikimedia Phabricator team (and I assume @mmodell / @Rush are not that familiar with wikitext / Lua templates, and their time could be invested in the many Phabricator-specific tasks we have around).

Done for MW.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Phabricator (but obviously doesn't work right now).

(I don't see what needs further discussion here, hence moving to Ready column on workboard.)

T168 is still open and probably needs expertise by somebody who knows how to use bots.

Not sure if we really want to push also the translated templates of {{tracked}} already to support Phabricator which are listed in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4481730#sitelinks-wikipedia - this can still happen at any point in the future if really wanted, IMHO.

I think the duties of the Phabricator Day 1 project have been accomplished: port the related templates hosted in mediawiki.org and available in English.

But before closing this task let me CC a couple of Community Engagement fellows to know their opinion. Is it ok to expect that the various communities will port and translate the new versions in their wikis? I will leave a note in Tech News and in the Tech Ambassadors list. Is there anything else that you would do?
