Bug management
From MediaWiki.org
Wikimedia's Phabricator installation is used to track problem reports and feature requests related to MediaWiki code, other Wikimedia-specific components (such as extensions or tools), and Wikimedia wikis (such as Wikipedia).
Sorting and solving bug reports is a collaborative effort by users and developers of the community together with Wikimedia's bugwrangler.
