Bug management/Feedback sources

Wikimedia has many wiki pages (forums) where users provide feedback. A long but not even complete list is available here.

For average wiki users Bugzilla is often hard to use, and developers cannot be expected to regularly take a look at all these forums. Anybody can help here by forwarding well-reported valid bugs from the forums to Wikimedia Bugzilla.


 * Watch input sources such as forums, Village Pumps and specific feedback pages for products.
 * Copy issues when it looks like they are a bug in the software and when they have good instructions how to reproduce.
 * On many wikipages you can use the template to visibly link to the Bugzilla ticket 123. This raises awareness and avoids duplicated reports in Bugzilla. In normal text you can use   to link to bug report 123.
 * To mark problems as FIXED, you can change the aforementioned template to on many wikipages.
