Hoi, can someone please change my email address to gerard.meijssen@gmail.com. Currently it points to a no longer existing wikimedia account. Thanks,
Topic on Talk:Phabricator/Help
Also, it probably links to that old email address because you accepted it when logging with your MediaWiki account for the first time? Can you check which email address have you defined at Special:Preferences?
Hi, you can maintain your email addresses under https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/email/ . Cheers, andre
Andre, I tried to register in the phabricator portal (to migrate from bugzilla) but... on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/email/ 1. There is no talk page or other way to list the roadblocks. 2. Wikimedia SUL / password did not authenticate ?? I got to Unified Login and it works for meta. 3. my bugzilla email ID did not authenticate. 4. Login and Register point to the same page, which is unexpected
What to do next? Ancheta
Hi Ancheta, could you elaborate what you mean by "no talk page to list roadblocks"? Roadblocks for what exactly? Wikimedia SUL has worked successfully for many users - if it does not work for you, could you describe what's happening when you try to register? When you say "my bugzilla email ID did not authenticate", how did you find out or how did this show?
Hi Andre, I am not a phab user and wish to register. How? Where do I record my difficulties with the documentation / instruction?
There was a link to phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/
I entered my SUL ID and failed phab's challenge response. Where was the place to record my failure and ask fo help?
Same story with my bugzilla credential
Tried again https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/
Entered my Wikipedia Unified login
Clicked Wikimedia Flower button, got to OAuth page
phabricator-production would like to have basic access on your behalf on all projects of this site.
Clicked Allow
entered bugzilla email ID
Entered authentication information
Got to Hi Ancheta_Wis,

Hi Ancheta, you are very welcome to record your difficulties here so we can help you to successfully register and log in! We need to know the exact steps that you performed. Did you click the "Login or Register - MediaWiki" button? Were you redirected to mediawiki.org asking for your username and password for mediawiki.org? After entering that, did you get a dialog saying "phabricator-production would like to have basic access on your behalf on all projects of this site"? After clicking "Allow", did you end up on Phabricator again? If one of these steps did not work for you, please tell us which exact step was the problem and what exactly happened instead. Also I don't know what you mean by "same story with my bugzilla credential" and how to reproduce that problem.
Apparently I am in phab at some level.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/
But how to repeat this? How do I login again? I am not sure what phab authenticated on. I cannot read the dots in the passwd box
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/login/ldap:self/
It says invalid to my SUL account/passwd
It is a bit confusing if you edit previous existing comments in this conversation instead of adding a new comment. So you log in again by clicking the same "Log in or register" button again.
So you seem to fail *verifying* your email address (proving that it's really yours). I am surprised that URL http://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/login/ldap:self/ starts with http instead of httpS and I am not sure why. It should have automatically forwarded to the httpS link instead.
And you wrote "Please verify that you own this email address (xxxxx.com) by clicking this link" but what does "xxxxx.com" stand for? And which URL did "this link" lead to?
I have decided to let the dust settle.
There needs to be a testing period with uninitiated users. It won't be me.
I am sorry to hear that. :(
The fact is that you created your Phabricator account correctly. If you have included in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/email/ your email address(es) used in Bugzilla, then you are good to go.
