Tenta reproducir el fallu usando una versión recién del software, pa ver si se corrixió apocayá. Si'l fallu foi nuna wiki como Wikipedia, puedes tentar de probalo na última versión del software qu'hai en test2.wikipedia.org.

¿Informó daquién más del mesmu problema?
Usa'l cuadru de gueta del sistema de siguimientu de fallos de Wikimedia pa ver si yá s'informó del error. Tamién puedes facer guetes más avanzaes na páxina de gueta avanzada.

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.

Have you tried fixing the issue yourself?
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.

Reporting a JavaScript bug

 * See also: Help:Locating broken scripts

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.

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).
