Wikipedia:Bug reports and feature requests

You've got a bug or feature request, and you're itching to report it. The first thing you should do is by using the search field in the upper corner. Someone may have already reported the bug or requested the feature. Searching first helps to prevent duplicates. To be effective, try multiple synonyms and rephrasings of what the bug or feature might have been called.

In order to relate a task with a project (tag) that uses Phabricator, you just need to start typing its name in the Tags field and select the project from the list of matching projects (the list will only show five matching projects). You can search for projects and read short project descriptions by clicking the magnifier icon in the Tags field. You can add one or more projects to the Tags field. If you are unsure, you can also leave it empty — triagers will take care of tasks that have no project set. There is a (long) available. Press Edit Query to search for projects. (This list is also available at .)

Priority should normally only be set by product managers, maintainers, or developers who plan to work on the task, or by the staff bugwrangler, or by technically experienced community members, not by the reporter filing the bug report or by outside observers. See for details.

By default you will be emailed with updates on the status of your task. Sometimes developers may reject or misunderstand a bug report or feature request and close a report that you think is still valid. If you believe there's still an issue, you can add a comment and try to make a better explanation, or you can take it to the mailing list. If you do not want to get updates on your bug, you can state this in your email preferences.

Go to the . You can also edit the search query (e.g. to also include closed tasks) to alter the results.

Tokens in Phabricator allow you to show which bugs you care about. You can add a token to a report by clicking "Award Token" in the side bar at the top of a report.

Note that developers are not obligated to implement a request just because it has a large number of tokens.

Phabricator is a place to notify developers of bugs and contribute information that would be useful in the fixing of the bugs. It is not a place for advocacy viz. "I REALLY WANT THIS BUG FIXED!" With that in mind, please keep the following rules in mind when using Phabricator:

If you see someone not following these rules, politely mention it to them via their talk page or private email: do not bugspam some more by chastising the user for their conduct publicly.

If you would like to note the fact that the task has been resolved, you can note its status via {{tracked|T1234|resolved}}. See the second right-floating box -->
