This track is the 'parent task' for new Labs project requests.

Before you request a project

Remember that you do not need a labs project to use Tool Labs (which has a lot of capabilities/features). You can request access to toollabs here. With toollabs, underlying infrastructure will be taken care of for you, and you can focus on writing your tool / bot / researchy-thing. Only request a labs project if you want root on the VM for a specific purpose (or need testing VMs for MediaWiki changes, etc). Remember that if you have root you have responsibilities too! :)

Requesting a new project

To request a new project, create a subtask, with the following information:

Project Name: <projectname>

Purpose: <reason for project request>

Wikitech Username of requestor: <username>

Note that <projectname> should be alphanumeric with dashes - no spaces or special characters other than - .
Make sure to remove the Tracking project for the subtask!
