Restore Phabricator links

Hi. I see that Phabricator links on this template have been added and removed. Can I please ask for having them back? Besides prefering Diffusion to Gitiles, I sometimes need to check if the Diffusion repo exists and browsing Diffusion manualy slows me down. Thanks.

Ping to @20after4 for advice and @Krinkle, the last user to remove said links.

+2 per MarcoAurelio. Imho Gitlies moreover offers a rather strange view, but this is probably a matter of getting used to.

Knowing the rationale for Gitlies will be nice too. A valid reason would be that Diffusion will be defunct. I do not know however

@MarcoAurelio: We are being ignored here since we are probably requesting something obviously unwanted. Next week I will however restore the template to point to Phabricator again. Another reason for doing this is that the clone command provided by Gitlies results into an authentication error. This is imho a travesty.

Thanks. Not sure if it is really unwanted since various of us do want them back :) I see benefits from having them back and maybe the template could be formatted later so it looks less "heavy" if that was the reason for removing it. There are tools such as https://tools.wmflabs.org/extreg-wos/ that depend on Diffusion and browsing manually to check if the tool reports correctly (ie: misconfigured or missing repository) is a bit of a pain. Thanks.

@MarcoAurelio: I apologize for not responding, however, this went overlooked because I normally use my official Wikimedia Foundation staff account which is MModell_(WMF). @20after4 is my personal-use account which predates my employment at the Foundation.
