Bugzilla is very unfriendly to use for Wikimedians (users). You need to * register separately, for which you currently require a trash mail address - see [[bug:29852]] - and * watching bugs and * wikisyntax does not work. * Native language interface is not supported. This hinders many users from participating, reporting and discussing bugs here. Also me until I took the time, registered a trash mail address and created an account here... Is it possible to embed the bugzilla in Mediawiki? Then it would also be accessible simply via SUL without a separate registration. If it could be embedded on every local project even the watching would work. What about [[mw:Extension:SVNIntegration]] (found by [[:de:Benutzer:DrTrigon]])?

You don't "require a trash mail address", you only "need" one if you want to remain "anonymous", for which, a lot of people don't actually care That extension is also nothing to do with bugzilla in MW. I think BZ supports other languages, but this is seemingly not enabled, as it seems to only list en for email language Wiki syntax does work, look at your post, wikilinks are linked correctly. Amazing, huh? And I'm not sure why we'd need a 100% implementation of wiki syntax in a bug tracker Having said that, SUL would be nice/a good idea. Some of the other problems you list, are issues in BZ itself Watching would need more code to then tie it into Special:Watchlist

(In reply to comment #1) Thanks for your comment, Reedy. > You don't "require a trash mail address", you only "need" one if you want to > remain "anonymous", for which, a lot of people don't actually care I do care and the other half lot people do care, too. > That extension is also nothing to do with bugzilla in MW. Sorry, see DrTrigon's reply. > Wiki syntax does work, look at your post, wikilinks are linked correctly. > Amazing, huh? And I'm not sure why we'd need a 100% implementation of wiki > syntax in a bug tracker That is amazing - indeed. I thought it does not because I didn't find a preview function?! > Some of the other problems you list, are issues in BZ itself Maybe in BZ itself - but this does not really matter for the endusers. ;) Having SUL and watchlist and (therefore) do not have the need for a mail address would be a very great fix for having a better communication with the projects' members.
(In reply to comment #1) > if you want to > remain "anonymous", for which, a lot of people don't actually care A lot of people in the Community want to stay anonymous. Just look at their user names. I would give you a link to [[Special:ActiveUsers]] but unfortunately this special page was removed due to Bug 41078 > Wiki syntax does work Only very limited
