There are some discussions regarding project settings screen refactorization also in #22090.

I'd like to move a few issue tracking related settings to their own tab in project settings:

• trackers selection
• issue custom fields selection
• default version
• default assignee
  That would make the project form on the first tab a bit cleaner.

I agree. There are too many fields in Information tab. However, I am concerned that the number of tabs in project settings will be excessive. There are already 9 tabs.

Unlike now, trackers and issue custom fields would not appear on the new project form but default trackers can now be configured in application settings.

I think it will be a little inconvenient but it is not a big problem because project settings screen will be displayed after creating a project.

I think we should remove the Modules tab and leave the modules below the project form just like it is when creating a new project.
It would also makes sense to remove the Wiki tab and let the user mark a wiki page as the start page directly from the wiki.

I think it would actually make the process of changing the start page more straightforward than having go to project settings and enter the title of the start page manually.

+1

The "Issue tracking" tab is now added. What about removing the Wiki tab as proposed above?

I am afraid of having too many buttons in the contextual area of a wiki page. There are already 6 buttons and the contextual area is too wide. I am sometimes bothered by wrapped wiki title due to too wide contextual area. It will get worse if another button is added.

Perhaps, it would be a good idea to hide less used functions in a dropdown menu with a ... button like in #26655.

FTR: this is done by #26579.
