As it says at the top of that page, it is not officially supported any longer, although I sometimes check in if I have a few minutes (I don't think that anyone else does). Thank you for bringing your concerns here.

@Whatamidoing (WMF) I'm aware of the notice at the top of the page, but I had usually got replies on my posts there. Either way, some of these are serious bugs and should be addressed. Would it be better if I reposted each bug as a separate issue here?

Yes, bringing them here increases the speed at which they'll be seen, compared to posting them at WP:VEF on the English Wikipedia. But your bug reports seem to be pretty well-explained, so maybe you'd like to post them directly to the bug tracking system? It's not very different from describing them on wiki, and some of the devs watch the incoming formal bug reports closely. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll explain the process.

Templates won't work, but you can write the relevant parts free-form. How to report a bug has some advice. I often follow this pattern:

  • Steps to reproduce (the most important part)
  • Results
  • Expected results

followed by anything that seems relevant, such as your web browser and OS (a detail that the devs always appreciate, even if it turns out not to be important for that bug), a diff showing the problem or a page where you encountered it, and whether you have tried to reproduce it.

Also, it's really easy to add screenshots to Phabricator. Make a screenshot (however your computer does that) and drag it into the middle of whatever you're typing. It does everything automagically from there.
