Documenting our usage of Phabricator
In relation to the Phabricator RfC and http://fab.wmflabs.org, we are starting to see useful questions and answers about the way we use the Phabricator tools. Let's update this outdated page documenting here the good practices. The discussion about Wikimedia Phabricator yes/no still must go to Requests for comment/Phabricator‎.--Qgil (talk) 15:36, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Test instance or not
«!NOTICE! This is a test install, be prepared to lose data or manually migrate to the future real instance at a later date. This instance is not meant for long term use.» but then it's said to be ok for posting important/production information. Who's right? Please update the notice if things changed. --Nemo 07:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * It can be used for "real" data by those willing to be guinea pigs, however everybody should be aware that some data still could get lost (though daily backups are in place, so in worst case you lose 24h). And it's correct that the specific Labs test instance is not meant for long term use - the production instance will be. --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 11:46, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the warning is fine to make sure that testers know that they are testers. However, "or manually migrate to the future real instance at a later date" could be removed because it is inaccurate. We are planning to migrate the valid projects to the production instance.--Qgil (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
