698533 - Create bugzilla keyword on feature creation

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Websites :: wiki.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

It would benefit project/product/release mangaers to have the capability to automatically query bugzilla in a mediawiki feature page for related bugs. (Using the improvement described in bug 691829.) In order to facilitate this integration we will need to have a bugzilla keyword that allows for the association between a feature and a set of bugs. This is a request to extend mediawiki to automatically create a bugzilla keyword when a new feature is created in mediawiki.

The keyword should have a structure like:

feature:[umbrella]:[subumbrella]

Here is a description of the bugzilla keyword field:

I don't see a method to create a new keyword in the Bugzilla REST API.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:REST_API

Legnitto's Python library mentions keyword but it may only be for querying.

Feature pages aren't being used very much anymore. I'm closing this as won't fix.
