How to report a bug/ar

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 collaborated on.

Quick recommendations

 * Be precise
 * Be clear: explain how to reproduce the problem, step by step, so others can reproduce the bug, or understand the request.
 * Include only one problem per task
 * Include any relevant links and examples

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.

هل سبق وأن قام أحد بالإبلاغ عن هذه المشكله؟
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.

Reporting a JavaScript bug
Go

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 you are unsure whether a feature you are using is based on JavaScript, try disabling JavaScript.

It's always helpful to include a screenshot with your report. It's often the easiest way to identify which feature you're talking about, and can often provide information which can help narrow down the error. Take care to hide any information you don't want to share, like other open browsers tabs or minimised chat windows.
