Rename "Tags" to "Personal Tags"
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Bugzilla 4.4 gave tags way more visibility.

Now I've seen developers in teams I work with getting confused by whiteboard, keywords and tags ("Now that you explain what is what I would called "tags" what you call "keywords").

Renaming "Tags" to "Personal Tags" would make the scope way clearer (your tags are only visible to yourself) and would help to differentiate from "global defined" keywords and "free-text but still visible to everybody" whiteboard.

Brought up in today's meeting with the Wikidata crew.

Andre, I added a tag as 'todo' and I see that and Email was sent to you regarding that. Isn't it private to the user ?

How did you see that 1) "email was sent to me" and 2) "regarding that"?
Example welcome...

Oh! That day, I saw something like:-
Email sent to:
aklapper@wikimedia.org

Probably my mistake. Now its not happening. And to fix this, I cant find the relevant file to edit in bugzilla-modifications/

That might be true; however Bugzilla itself then sorts out how gets notifications about which parts of the changes, depending on access rights.

It's not in modifications as we only have modifications in there, and this is not modified yet. The code needs to be taken from upstream, changed, and put into the repository. However this is lower priority.

Wikimedia has migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator. Learn more about it here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/versus_Bugzilla - This task does not make sense anymore in the concept of Phabricator, hence closing as declined.
