Aborting a Quest

In some situations, an organisation might want to abort a Quest. However, this action is not recommended because if a Quest has already started, the work of some developers may go unrewarded.

To abort a Quest, you must call the abort command on the Issue where the Quest was initialised. The Issue number #{issue_number} must be included for added security:

@quest-bot abort #{issue_number}

A confirmation message like this will appear in the Issue. Developers who have called embark on the Quest will be notified:

Swords down 🗡

Quest on issue #{issue_number} has been aborted by @{organisation}

...

Note, Quests can also be aborted directly from the admin dashboard using the 'Manage Quest' menu on the appropriate Quest page, or by simply closing the issue on Github.
