How to use Trac like JIRA - bug-tracking

I have been using JIRA for the past 15 months, and now I find myself on a project that is using Trac. How do I look up a ticket just by the ticket number in Trac? I am use to just typing the ticket value in the upper right hand side of JIRA and it finding that one ticket. I tried the same thing in Trac and was not so lucky.

Can't you just put it on the URL?
Alternatively, search for the ticket - put a # in front of the ticket number and you're good to go. Other options are available too:
For quick access to various project
resources, the quick-search field at
the top of every page can be used to
enter a wiki link, which will take you
directly to the resource identified by
that link.
For example:
* [42] -- Opens change set 42
* #42 -- Opens ticket number 42
* {1} -- Opens report 1
* /trunk -- Opens the browser for the trunk directory
eg. http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8199

Sharepoint Online automating the handling of pages with different versions of content

I'm currently learning how to extend Sharepoint Online (ie Sharepoint Modern) and am not sure how to achieve the below, so any pointers would help.
We want to create a site to be used as a knowledge base for pages on specific subjects.
(as this site would only have these pages would it matter f it were a Team Site or a Communication site? I suspect it dsoesn't matter)
There will be multiple revisions to each page, but we would like to keep earlier versions and just flag which is the current one.
Example :
Page 1 : Introduction to company systems
Initially this would be created as Version 1, and be visible to all users.
Later we create a new,edited copy that is Version 2.
Both remain published but we want to make sure visiters are offered Version 2.
What we would like:
A way to flag the version number against each page. I assume this would normally be done by a column in a list of the pages eg column 'Version'?
A way to flag the page that is the current version. Again, a list column eg column 'IsCurrentVersion'?
Is there any way to edit these columns (ie 'Version' and 'IsCurrentVersion') from within the page rather than having to open the list and edit the list row? (eg Possibly using PowerApps?)
Is there a way so that when an editor flags a page as the current version, an automated process goes through all other version of that page, and sets 'IsCurrentVersion' to 'No', so only one page is ever seen as the current version? (eg using Power Automate?)
A way so that when a user views a page, it checks to see if it is the current version (eg by checking the list column 'IsCurrentVersion') and:
if it IS the current version it offers a link to a list of previous versions,
or if it IS NOT the current version, javascript adds a class to the page so it is obvious this is not the current version (eg, a tinted overlay, pseudo element watermark) and offers a link to the current verison (would this be done with spfx extensions)?
Finally, (this may not be needed) a way so that some users cann ONLY see the current version - -e if they manage to get the url to a page which is 'IsCurrentVersion' set to 'No', they can not open it, or it redirects them to the current version, or sets a class with styling to hide the content (the last option is least desirable as it it is easily overcome by the user).
I am hoping this is possible in Sharepoint, and showing me where to look for solutions would be fantastic.

Are SharePoint Column / Field variations gone in SPO?

For years I created columns in SP in the following way:
Fix browser accept-language header to default language of site
(e.g. en-US)
Create column with an internal name
Rename column to default language name
Fix browser accept-language header to next language (e.g. de-DE)
Rename column to next language name
This worked and the translated names are still shown.
I now tried the same steps on 2 new sites on different tenants and it seems variants are not longer created: always all languages are changed.
resx files created by Site settings > Export Translations does not contain newly created fields / columns.
Was this feature removed?
If yes: what is the current way to create multilingual data-lists (one list filled by many users in different countries/languages)?
If no: has the way to translate fields / columns changed? Or is this a (temporal) bug in current SPO?
The multilingual user interface (MUI) works exactly the same way in SharePoint Online as on premise. However your browser's Accept-language is not the only thing that governs the current UI language, your profile language is another factor, and you have to wait for it to take effect.
When you change your language in order to enter the column names in a different language, check that at least some of the built-in UI, menus, edit link, etc, is in the new language. Bits of it are cached and will take a long time to be in the right language, but as soon as some of it changes, you are good to edit those column names and any untranslated navigation while you are at it.

Is there a way to display all sub wikis in an index page in gitlab?

So in gitlab you can use [[_TOC_]] to display a table of contents for the current page - which works on headings.
But I want to have a heirachy in my wiki like:
<home-url>/Project1
<home-url>/Project1/Tools
<home-url>/Project1/Debugging
<home-url>/Project1/Debugging/GDB
<home-url>/Project1/Debugging/MSVS
Such that in the Project1 page I get an index (links) to each section similar to the table of contents layyout - e.g.:
- Tools
- Debugging
- GDB
- MSVS
I can do this manually, but that's a pain to maintain. Is there some automatic tool to do this for me like TOC?
The TOC support steams from issue 2494, and was implemented in issue 21901, which gave us the Markdown [[_TOC_]] syntax.
Even the current request to support [TOC] instead (issue 14193) does not mention any layout option to include a hierarchical display.
As mentioned in the first issue:
If you need more control, you can open a new issue at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues and upvote it.
For example: issue 215988: "Add Gollum depth level support for Wikis Table of Contents [[_TOC_]]"
Having the ability to limit a [[TOC]] depth is useful to show a more synthetic view of a page while keeping its deeply nested structure.
See also GitLab 15.3 "Visualize table of contents in the WYSIWYG wiki editor".
Thanks to VonC for the actual answer - i.e. there is not such a feature at the moment (well, not quite as I want it) - but there is the side bar in gitlab wiki which shows you the pages within your wiki.
If you structure you wiki into folders and subfolders then you can navigate with this side bar "tree". Its not collapseable - so its just a bog-roll off text, but it is indented to aid navigation.
It works well enough for simple wikis with a few dozen pages - but probably if there are hundreds of pages it might start to breakdown - at that point you might want to break your wiki up into several wikis with a top-level links page or some such.
Here is (a crap) picture - it was the best I could see on google without looking too hard see here
You get this for free (without doing anything) so its decent for most cases.

Find Shelveset of Another User

When I follow instructions to find a shelveset, I'm given a list of all my personal shelvesets. But what I want is to view and unshelve from another user's selection. Other developers can simply change the user to whoever they want. No such option exists for me.
I've told my TFS admin about this issue. The response I got was that "We haven’t locked anything down, you should be able to view others' shelvesets." Nevertheless, I can't see others' shelvesets.
What could be causing this? What specific issue or permission(s) should the TFS admin check to confirm "we havn't locked anything down?"
I also had this issue, and typing in other names didn't yield any results.
Instead I found that if I search for * then I can see all shelfsets and their name, and I can hover over the name to see the owner.
You should be able to simply type in a different user name in the Find Shelvesets window and hit Enter (if that's not working whats the error message):
There is a UserVoice idea for improvements to the Visual Studio Find Shelvesets Search box UI. Suggest you up vote that idea and add a comment regarding your specific issue. That might get some action from Microsoft.
In my current project environment (VS2015/TFS2013) you have to provide an exact user/AD account name. If you try a partial name you get an error msg
Could not retrieve shelvesets: TF14045: The identity calvert is not a recognized identity.
A wildcard character * works but generates too many results and you can't filter them.
The wildcard does not work when ot combined with a fragment; "calvert*" gives an error msg
Could not retrieve shelvesets: TF10131: The shelveset name calvert* contains more than 64 characters, contains one of the following characters: "/:<>\|*?; or ends with a space. Type a valid name and try again.
All in all a poor experience.
