How to report a bug/eo

These guidelines explain how to write a good bug report or feature request in Wikimedia's bugtracker (see for more information). Effective bug reports are the most likely to be fixed.

 * Be precise
 * Be clear: explain how to reproduce the problem, step by step, so others can reproduce the bug
 * Include only one problem per report

Can you reproduce the issue?
Try to reproduce your bug using a recent version of the software, to see whether it has already been fixed. If the bug is on a wiki site like Wikipedia you could try testing the latest software version on test2.wikipedia.org.

Has someone else already reported the issue?
Use the search box of Wikimedia's bugtracker to see if your bug has already been reported. You can also perform more advanced searches on the advanced search page.

Reporting a new bug or feature request
If you have faced a bug in a recent version and no one else appears to have reported it, then:
 * 1) Go to phabricator.wikimedia.org and click "Maniphest" in the side bar.
 * 2) Choose "Create task" in the upper corner.
 * 3) You will be asked to log in (or register) if you have not already done so (see "").
 * 4) Fill out at least the following fields:
 * 5) * Title: A short one-sentence summary that explains the problem (not your suggested solution).
 * 6) ** Bonan:
 * 7) ** Malbona:
 * 8) * Assigned to: You can ignore this field: Developers will set an assignee when they plan to work on the task.
 * 9) * CC: You can ignore this field: If you know specific users who will be interested in getting notified of this task you can add them here.
 * 10) * Priority: You can ignore this field: In general, the priority is set by developers who plan to work on the task (see "").
 * 11) Select the project(s) in which you've found the bug:
 * This could be for example the project for the wiki software itself, or  for configuration changes of the Wikimedia wiki sites (see "").
 * 1) * Security: Set this to "Security or Sensitive bug" if many users could be harmed by the security problem that you are reporting. Your report will be kept hidden from the public until it is resolved.
 * 2) * Description: Full details of the issue, giving as much detail as possible. This can include:
 * 3) ** For bugs:
 * 4) *** Steps to Reproduce: Minimized, easy-to-follow steps that will trigger the described problem. Include any special setup steps.
