1126525 - Link from jobs' help to instructions

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P4)

Description

[Steve Fink [:sfink] [:s:]]

Specific example: spidermonkey shell builds, the ones that show up as SM(...), are easy to recreate these days with an in-tree autospider.sh script. I would like to place a link in the help to a wiki page describing how to replicate these builds locally. I think it would be best if *all* jobs in the help page linked to a wiki page (many to the same wiki page), and in fact it would be kind of nice if the visibility requirements mandated such a page.

I would also vote for the job summary pane to also link to the same page, probably from the job name or something.

Hi Steve, that seems like a reasonable idea. If you have the link to the desired wiki, feel free to provide it here in the bug. I think it would make sense to linkify the "SpiderMonkey" string in its Build row in the help https://treeherder.mozilla.org/help.html

SM 	SpiderMonkey <-*

Are there dozens or more of these? Do they share a common URL structure?

Adding Steve in case he has any example wiki links we can consider, and or thoughts on my comment#1.

All of the SM(...) builds can go to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Javascript:Automation_Builds

All of the H builds can go to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Javascript:Hazard_Builds

Thanks!

There are about half a dozen SM(...) builds, but they can all use the same URL.
