Bug ID: 410831
Summary: Please automatically link to mentions of a given
ticket in the form "ticket #123456"
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: chea...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I am filing this ticket despite https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410284
with the assumption that its comment #1 is correct.
I put this ticket in the "general" component, but I suppose nothing prevents
addressing this with a code customization... please feel free to change the
component as you wish.
As discussed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409930 it would be very
handy if, when a description or comment referred to a ticket using phrasing
like "ticket #123456", that this text be automatically made a link to the
ticket mentioned (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123456).
This already works for bugs, as can be seen in ticket #409930 comment #2, but
only when using the misleading form "bug #123456", and not for tickets, as
ticket #409913's comment #1 shows.
As ticket #409930 comment #1 implies, KDE has 2 ticketing systems, bugs.kde.org
and https://phabricator.kde.org/maniphest/
The latter has for some time used the term "ticket" to refer to any of its
entries, as can be seen on https://community.kde.org/Sysadmin
Therefore, referring to a KDE ticket by its number could be ambiguous.
Thankfully, that system now refers to its entries as "tasks", with identifiers
of the form "Td+" (for example, "T341"). I therefore recommend that references
like "ticket 123456" are not automatically linked, only those with a hash,
distinguishing between "ticket #123456" and "ticket T123456".
