Summary: Consistency with "Priority" field - please remove
completely or restore to "new bug" form
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://toolserver.org/~amidaniel/chanlogs/%23mediawiki/
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Bugzilla
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The "Priority" Bugzilla field has been disabled in the "Enter a new bug"
creation form, as it is totally ignored by bug handlers here. However, it is
still possible to set on the bug description page. This leads to the annoying
situation whereby a new bug is submitted, and then immediately edited to raise
the priority (see chanlogs for annoying examples). This is reported spammily in
#mediawiki and by email.
The best solution would be to remove the field completely, but Tim Starling has
said this is non-trivial and possibly quite hard. A workable solution is to
just un-disable it in the new bug form so people can set it (uselessly) on
submission.
