ವರದಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಕ್ಷಿಪ್ರ ಶಿಫಾರಸುಗಳು

 * Be precise
 * Be clear: explain how to reproduce the problem, step by step, so others can reproduce the bug
 * Include only one problem per report

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 test2.wikipedia.org].

Has someone else already reported the issue?
Use the search box on bugzilla.wikimedia.org to see if your bug has already been reported. You can also perform more advanced searches on the search page.
