Hi, For the nth time, in #mediawiki, I've had someone ask how to be able to mark a bug as resolved, or claim it, or mark it as a duplicate of another bug. I conceptually know that this means "getting editbugs permissions" but it happens so infrequently that I never know where to go.
Usually what happens is this: 1. I wrack my brain trying to remember the process for about 30 seconds 2. Failing, I try to ping Andre, Quim, and Sumana (none of whom are in the channel, sadly) 3. I search with duckduckgo and pull up nothing of any use 4. I search MediaWiki.org and find outdated status reports about greasemonkey scripts but nothing useful 5. I go to the developer hub pages and look at the welcome-to-the-community process but again find nothing describing this process Solution: We've made every editbugs user able to add editbugs to an account. I've documented the process here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla#Why_can.27t_I_claim_a_bug_or_mark_it_resolved.3F Thanks to Chad for the quick resolution on this, hopefully this will be a positive change overall. -- Mark Holmquist Software Engineer, Multimedia Wikimedia Foundation mtrac...@member.fsf.org https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:MHolmquist
