My Phabricator account was automatically disabled. I am a GSoC 2026 applicant working on T415272 (Modularization + Jetpack Compose for Commons Android). I believe the account was flagged due to creating and editing proposal tasks. My username is ShoaibKhalid65.

Very old Phab ticket - numbered bugs

If you make a new section on a talkpage with the same name as a pre-existing section, and you don't leave an editsummary, the link in the editsummary incorrectly points to the the first instance.

I was looking at T66147 and the problem still exists, yet the ticket was closed as a duplicate of bug 111.

It looks like the ticket was imported from a bugzilla installation at some point.

Should I just make a new ticket?

It is possible bug 111 refers to this but that is an unpublished commit that no longer exists in the repo. Polygnotus (talk) 06:12, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

@Polygnotus IIUC, bug 111 refers to (what was) bugzilla:111^{[archived at [1]]}, which now redirects to (the open task) phab:T2111. Does that task match the issue you're describing?

(For what it's worth, I believe that - for imported Bugzilla tasks - their Phab task IDs are their Bugzilla IDs + 2000.)

@A smart kitten Meow! Thanks, looks like this bug has been reported at least half a billion times between 2004 and now but since its low priority it will never get done. Ideally you'd have a cron script that slowly increases the priority of very old bugs. Or maybe the WMF should start a cold cases team. Polygnotus (talk) 12:50, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Account Disabled

My account appears to have been mistakenly disabled while I was creating tasks related to the Wikimedia Hackathon. I believe this may have been an error.

For reference, I am the administrator of the Toolforge tool “ghanasupremecases1.” I would appreciate a review of the account status and assistance in resolving this issue. My Username is Sunkanmi12 Sunkanmi12 (talk) 13:16, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
