Bugzilla/Products and components

This is a list of all the Products and Components in MediaWiki's Bugzilla.

dbzip2
Local and network-distributed bzip2 compression tool. Only component is General.

Kate's Tools
Experimental wiki-related tools at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~river/

Only component is General/Unknown. This is probably depreciated in favour of the toolserver's own bugtracking system, JIRA.

Logwood
Logwood statistics system. Only component is General/Unknown.

MediaWiki
The wiki software itself -- most issues about how the wiki works should go here.

API
The MediaWiki API. Contrary to what some people seem to think, bugs relating to hooks or other kinds of interfaces that might be called APIs do not belong here.

Database
Back-end database issues: SQL errors, compatibility, etc.

Documentation
All documentation, including that on MediaWiki.org

Email
Issues relating to the email notification features and email address verification (Special:Confirmemail etc.)

General/Unknown
Bugs in here should be assigned a more specific Component whenever possible!

All issues relating to the page displaying an article's history and the page displaying differences between two revisions.

Images
"Image management (thumbnails etc.)" (Probably also audio and video. Probably about display issues. cf Uploading.)

Maintenance scripts
Command-line maintenance scripts for various tasks.

Modern skin

Page editing
All issues relating to the edit screen, edit conflicts, and saving edits.

Page protection
Protection and unprotection of pages, and issues with protected pages

Page rendering
Issues relating to the process that converts wiki syntax into HTML. (Wikitext/wikisyntax issues.)

Special pages
All special pages (Recent changes, Watchlist, Wanted pages, Orphans, Export, etc.)

Templates
All issues relating to templates and template inclusion. (Maybe cf. page rendering.)

User interface
Issues relating to the user interface and skins, including Monobook, Classic, Nostalgia, Cologne Blue, DaVinci, etc. (cf Modern skin)

User login/settings
Account creation, login, preferences management, etc. Settings bugs in this component should be migrated to the User preferences component.

User preferences
All issues relating to user preferences (please migrate user settings bugs in the User login/settings component to this one)

MediaWiki extensions
This list contains all extensions managed as part of the MediaWiki Subversion repository. If you want to report a bug for an extension that is not in this list, it has either been overlooked (in which case log a bug in the 'Bugzilla' component to request that it is added) or it is not in the repository (in which case check the extension's page on MediaWiki.org and contact the author directly).

This list changes quite frequently so the details are not listed here.

mwdumper
