08:06pq: Going to gitlab.freedesktop.org, what's the fastest way to find the documentation on how to deal with spam by just clicking the obvious links?
08:07pq: I feel like the Help button should have a link for this.
08:07emersion: hm https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/539#note_2897362
08:07emersion: i wonder what's too complicated here
08:08pq: understanding that there is a label "Spam" I should use, and not look for some "report spam" button
08:09emersion: i can't remember whether it's the "Spam" label or the "do not litter" emoji
08:09emersion: "do not litter" reaction works on comments for sure
08:09pq: oh, that's more
08:10pq: there is the built-in "Report abuse" thing that I at least recalled is not the best thing.
08:10bentiss: Spam label is used when a spammer opens a new issue and no-one touched it. the emoji allows to target the specific comment
08:10emersion: pq, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/damspam
08:10emersion: bentiss: so the emoji works on the issue as well, or not?
08:11pq: emersion, how do I discover that page without knowing it's there?
08:11bentiss: emersion: not sure we tested this, but if not, it is a bug
08:11emersion: pq, it's linked from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/Spam
08:11pq: emersion, how do I discover the wiki, starting from gitlab.freedesktop.org?
08:11bentiss: pq: yep as emersion said: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/Spam
08:12bentiss: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/home
08:12emersion: the damspam README doesn't say anything about the emoji, would be nice to fix :P
08:12bentiss: gives a link to that spam wiki
08:12pq: bentiss, how do I even know a wiki exists if I'm new?
08:12pq: or what project contains it
08:12bentiss: pq: you're supposed to have a banner that links to that wiki
08:13bentiss: but then, if you dismissed it, yeah, you'r screwed
08:13bentiss: there isn't much modifications we can do on gitlab unfortunally
08:13pq: exactly, hence there should be a link to this behind the standard "Help" button.
08:14emersion: we can't change the "Help" button
08:14bentiss: pq: I think this would be an upstream request
08:14pq: bentiss, sure. Some sort of instance-specific landing page.
08:15pq: front page, I mean
08:15bentiss: pq: FWIW, when you sign up, and log in the first time, you should also see a special page with the instructions. But people just click yes and forget
08:17pq: yes, banners are a one-time thing. I joined 2018, so I have forgot.
08:18bentiss: and it changed since :)
08:18pq: I guess everyone should bookmark the freedesktop/freedesktop wiki front page.
08:21pq: https://www.freedesktop.org could also have a link to the wiki.
13:27Curan: @bentiss I tried opening a MR for Mesa and get a 404 (after logging into the FDO GitLab instance) for the MR create URL. Doesn't matter if I click the button in the branch or if I use the URL I got in the shell after pushing. Is some cache broken after the move to Hetzner or do I need new rights? Before I was able to create MRs. branch in question would be https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/curan/mesa/-/commits/curan/fix/ftbfs-llvm21-targetoptions-
13:27Curan: protected (fixing https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/13079)
13:27Curan: * https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/curan/mesa/-/commits/curan/fix/ftbfs-llvm21-targetoptions-protected
13:38Curan: OK, it really is just a cache issue. Creating a branch with a different name and using that (with an already existing login) works.
14:08bentiss: Curan: yeah, this is a known bug, unfortunately
14:10Curan: OK, thanks for looking into this. I'll have to remember logging in first then
