How to report a bug/lb

Dës Richtlinnen erkläre wéi een e Feeler (Bug) oder eng Ufro no enger Funktioun gutt am Wikimedia Bugtracker beschreift (kuckt fir méi Informatiounen). Gutt geschriwwe Rapporten iwwer Feeler hu méi Chance fir verbessert ze ginn.

E puer Recommandatioune fir Feelermeldungen

 * Sidd präzis
 * Sidd kloer: erklärt wéi de Feeler reproduzéiert ka ginn, Schrëtt fir Schrëtt, esou datt Anerer de Feeler reproduzéiere kënnen
 * Setzt just ee Feeler an eng Feelermeldung

Kënnt Dir de Feeler reproduzéieren?
Versicht Äre Feeler mat enger rezenter Versioun vun der Software ze reproduzéiere fir z'iwwerpréiwen ob e scho verbessert ass. Wann Dir de Feeler op engem Wiki-Site wéi Wikipedia fonnt hutt da kéint Dir probéieren fir e mat där aktuellster Software-Versioun vun test2.wikipedia.org ze testen.

Huet schonn een Aneren de Problem signaliséiert?
Benotzt d'Sichkëscht op dem Wikimedia 'Bugtracker' fir ze kucken op Äre Feeler scho gemellt gouf. Dir kënnt och méi detailléiert sichen op der Erweiderter-Sich-Säit.

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.

 * Beispill:
 * 1) ** For feature requests:
 * 2) *** A description of what you would like to achieve, and why. Explain what you hope the feature will solve (the actual underlying problem) along with specific examples; but do not demand a specific solution, as there might be other/better solutions. A user story is an effective way of conveying this.
 * Beispill:
 * 1) ** Please also provide any other information that might be useful, such as:
 * 2) *** the web browsers, skins, or computer systems you've seen the bug on;

Kuckt ob Äre Rapport komplett ass, da klickt op de Knäppchen "Create task". Är Feelermeldung ass dann an der Datebank gespäichert an hoffentlech hëlt da geschwënn ee sech dem Feeler un. This allows somebody interested in the report to look at it and.

The priority for the task will be set by developers if they plan to work on the task (see Setting priorities).

Dat ass alles! Merci fir Är Hëllef fir MediaWiki an d'Wikimedia Projeten ze verbesseren!

Reporting a JavaScript bug

 * See also: Help:Locating broken scripts

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).
