Document saving and using saved custom queries in Phabricator

completed by: Jackson

mentors: Andre Klapper

Wikimedia recently migrated from using Bugzilla for issue report tracking to the Maniphest tool that is included in Phabricator: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator . This also required (and requires) updating and adding lots of information on the Wikimedia wiki pages linked from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management .

In Phabricator's "Maniphest" tool for bug tracking, you can save custom queries. Also see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76273#794540 !

Your task is to play with this functionality, understanding it, and documenting that (in proper English) in a section under https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Searching_for_items with an example.

Students are required to read Wikimedia's general GCI instructions at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#Instructions_for_GCI_students first!
