Kanns De dat norr_en hen krijje?
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.



Hädd_ene andere dat alld jemälldt?
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.

Reporting a JavaScript bug

 *  See also: 

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).
