Revision as of 10:36, 17 April 2015 by commons>Be..anyone (commons variant has no "see also", but an additional i18n category)

This template is intended to be used on feedback pages and talk pages for software deployments. It floats right-aligned next to whichever content it precedes. Imagine we see a comment like the following:

Your software is broken. It doesn't even work on Windows ME. When I try to load it, Bill Gates appears on my screen and laughs manically. --Dogmaster3000 01:17, 14 December 2011 (PST)

Now let's say we want to note that there's a task on Phabricator for this. We'll add the following code: {{tracked|T123}} (where T123 is the identifier of the task).

Sample output:

Your software is broken. It doesn't even work on Windows ME. When I try to load it, Bill Gates appears on my screen and laughs manically. --Dogmaster3000 01:17, 14 December 2011 (PST)

We can leave it at that. If we'd like to note the fact that the task's been resolved, we can note its status, via {{tracked|T123|resolved}}. In addition to resolved, we support invalid, duplicate, declined, stalled and open. (Style note: We're not using big scary red colors for the status to avoid scaring or annoying the reporter.) Example with the resolved keyword:

Sample output:

Your software is broken. It doesn't even work on Windows ME. When I try to load it, Bill Gates appears on my screen and laughs manically. --Dogmaster3000 01:17, 14 December 2011 (PST)

Of course, feel free to avoid using this template if tracking a comment is not useful.

Your software is broken. It doesn't even work on Windows ME. When I try to load it, Bill Gates appears on my screen and laughs manically. --Dogmaster3000 01:17, 14 December 2011 (PST)

You appear to be running the new IE toolbar. This is expected behavior. However, if you upgrade, it will show the angry dancing Ballmer instead. --GNUnicorn 01:38, 14 December 2011 (PST)

Bugzilla tickets

For backwards compatibility, this template also accepts the number of a Bugzilla ticket as first parameter, and the following resolutions: fixed, wontfix, later, invalid. Last but not least, we can mark a bug as critical. We deliberately aren't using this keyword for bugs which are resolved one way or another -- the point of adding this to the template is to note to all readers of the page that the seriousness of a bug has been critical. This keyword should only be used if the bug has also been marked as critical in Bugzilla. Example usage: {{Tracked|300|critical}}

Sample output:

Your software is broken. It doesn't even work on Windows ME. When I try to load it, Bill Gates appears on my screen and laughs manically. --Dogmaster3000 01:17, 14 December 2011 (PST)

If you need the Phabricator task for a migrated Bugzilla ticket, add 2000 to the BZ bug number and prefix with T, e.g., T2300 replaced bugzilla:300.
