How to report a bug/ro

These guidelines explain how to write a good bug report or feature request (a task) in Wikimedia's task tracker (see for more information). Well-written tasks are more likely to be worked on quickly.

Quick recommendations

 * Be precise
 * Be clear: explain 1) how to reproduce the situation, step by step, without leaving any room for interpretation, 2) expected behavior, 3) actual behavior. In separate sections
 * Include only one problem per task
 * Include any relevant links and examples

Poți reproduce problema?
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, or the feature requested. You can also perform more advanced searches on the advanced search page.

If you are unsure whether a bug has already been reported, you should report the bug. It is better to have duplicate bugs than it is to have unreported bugs.

Is it maybe a gadget / user script issue?
Some problems are a consequence of using user scripts and gadgets which need some fixes. There is with steps how you can identify such code, which could fix your issue so that you do not waste your time reporting it.

Raportarea unui bug sau cerere de funcționalități
If you have faced a bug in a recent version and no one else appears to have reported it, then:
 * 1) Accesați phabricator.wikimedia.org.

 * 3) Click the Bookmark button in the upper right corner and choose "Create Task" (or "Report Security issues" to ).
 * 4) Fill out at least the following fields:
 * 5) * Title: A short one-sentence summary that explains the problem (not your suggested solution).
 * 6) ** Bine:
 * 7) ** Rău:
 * 8) * Assigned to: You should ignore this field: Developers will set an assignee when they plan to work on the task.
 * 9) * Description: Full details of the issue, giving as much detail as possible. This should include:
 * 10) ** Pentru buguri:
 * 11) *** Steps to Reproduce: Minimized, easy-to-follow steps that will trigger the described problem. Include any special setup steps.
 * Exemplu:

 * Exemplu:
 * 1) *** Expected Results: What the application should have done, if there was no bug.
 * Exemplu:
 * 1) ** Pentru cereri de funcționalități:
 * 2) *** A description of what you would like to achieve, and why. Explain what you hope the feature will solve (the actual underlying problem) along with specific examples; but do not demand a specific solution, as there might be other/better solutions. A user story is an effective way of conveying this.
 * Exemplu:
 * 1) ** Please also provide any other information that might be useful, such as:
 * 2) *** the web browsers, skins, or computer systems you've seen the bug on;
 * 3) *** links or diffs to one or more pages where you encountered the bug; or
 * 4) *** whether the problem appears every time, only occasionally, only on certain pages, or only in specific circumstances.
 * 5) * To attach a log file or (but make sure that no confidential data is included or shown), click the Upload File button (a cloud with an arrow) in the tool bar of the Description field.
 * 6) * Select the tags (project(s)) in which you've found the bug:
 * 7) ** Projects are how developers find tasks to work on. To identify the right project(s), use the search function (in the top right) to find its description.
 * 8) ** This could be for example the project for the wiki software itself, or  for configuration changes on a Wikimedia site (see ).
 * 9) * Subscribers: If you know specific users who will be interested in getting notified of this task you can add them here. Otherwise, ignore this field.

That's all! Thanks for your help to improve MediaWiki and Wikimedia projects!

Raportarea unui bug JavaScript

 * See also: Help:Locating broken scripts

A lot of functionality, such as gadgets, user scripts, and some parts of MediaWiki, rely on JavaScript.

When you encounter a bug that may be related to JavaScript, do your best to identify error messages and copy them into the bug report.

It's especially important to provide all the information you have, because even the system administrators will have zero access to any error log.

If the problem is in the code of a user script or gadget itself, then Phabricator might not be the place where the problem will get handled. Someone might redirect you to the talk page of the script (if the problematic script is identified).
