Bugzilla/lb

All Feeler an der MediaWiki-Software sollen op bugzilla.wikimedia.org gemellt ginn. Dëst ass och déi Plaz wou nei Funktiounen a Verbesserunge vun der Software ugefrot solle ginn.

Wat ass Bugzilla?
"Fir méi Informatioun, kuckt de Wikipedia-Artikel iwwer Bugzilla."

Bugzilla is an online bug-tracking tool, developed by the Mozilla Foundation, and is the system we use to track all open issues with MediaWiki.

The reason we use Bugzilla is that it allows the developers to easily find, track and discuss issues, to spot duplicates and ultimately to resolve them.

Wikimedia's bug tracker is usually referred to as "Bugzilla". Older references may call it "MediaZilla".

Bemierkung
Bugzilla comments are plain text; you cannot use HTML. However, Bugzilla will automatically make hyperlinks in these ways:

Link to:
 * Bug report:


 * Bemierkungen: . Kann och mam Bug kombinéiert ginn


 * Attachments:


 * SVN commits: (link to the revision shown in Code review (through Special:Code/MediaWiki))


 * Change sets in Gerrit:   The recognized format for changeset number is . Newlines added by bugzilla break the autolinking, as usual. Technical details: kuckt d'Regelen.

Full URLs
Internetsiten:

MediaWiki-style internal links
They are supported. By default they point to English Wikipedia. Interwiki prefixes are supported as well and work as usual, starting from en.wikipedia.org: will link to the German Wikipedia, and so on.

Using pipes for a different label does not work. For example;  is not supported and won't create a link.

Section links work too, but you need to insert them correctly: the simplest way is to copy the URL from the location bar of your browser, and add brackets around the part of it after, e.g.  to link MediaWiki (technically: the section link has to be already URL-encoded).

Longer interwiki links need to be on their own line, otherwise they're split over two lines and won't be linkified. If an interwiki link is not recognized, add a colon : before it (e.g. ).

Since recently, also non-local interwikis work.

Firwat muss ech mech umellen?
We need you to register to use Bugzilla. This is primarily so that we can contact you if there are further questions regarding your bug submission. For example, if a developer cannot replicate your problem they will ask for more information. By default you will get e-mail notifications when there is activity on your bug reports.

You can also add/remove yourself from any bug report (including reports created by other users).

You can change your preferences to specify when Bugzilla should (and shouldn't) send emails to you. To change your preferences, log in on Bugzilla and click on your email address at the top right of the page.

Wéi kann ech mech umellen?
Registering is simple and free. Click the "create account" link at the top right of the page, enter your e-mail address (and optionally your real name) and click "create account". Then simply log in using the password you receive in the confirmation e-mail (which can be changed in your preferences once you have logged in). When logging in enter your email address in the login form on any Bugzilla page.

Note that new users are prevented from taking certain actions by default, such as closing or assigning tickets. This is largely to protect against spam. You can acquire these rights by participating in the tracker in other ways, or by requesting them on IRC.

Wéi Dir Är E-Mail-Adress verstoppe kënnt
Please note that (unlike on Wikimedia projects) your email address will be visible on threads you participate in, and on thread CC lists you have added yourself to. It is visible to everyone who is logged in. It is not visible to people who are not logged in. Your email address can not be hidden from logged-in readers.

It is possible to create an additional web-based e-mail address, and then set it to forward email to your main email address. This prevents exposure of your main email address. Google Mail (Gmail) allows free email forwarding. One can automatically forward email from one Gmail account to another Gmail account, or to any email account.

You can change your email address or name at anytime on Bugzilla. They are then changed in all bug threads you participated in. So if you decide later on to hide your main email address or name you can still do so.

Firwat kann ech d'Feeler net op der Wiki mellen?
You could also report bugs by writing them in chalk on the pavement. However, if you want a developer to act on it then you need to put it somewhere they are likely to see it, namely Bugzilla.

Wéi verlinken ech e Bug?
If you want to create a link from a wiki page to a Bugzilla report, use, where XXX is the number of the bug report. For example will result in the following link: 4198.

You can also use the template, for example   will result in. In some wikis, you can use (shown to the right), and also   when the bug report has been marked as fixed.

What do the priority and severity fields mean?
Kuckt Bugzilla/Fields an Bugzilla/Fields.

What does the Status field mean? (NEW, RESOLVED, etc.)
See the field description. NEW is also one of the statuses that an open bug might have.

Why can't I claim a bug or mark it resolved?
You need the "editbugs" permission, which can be granted by any person who already has it - which is most developers. Please ask in the #mediawiki IRC channel, and someone will grant it to you very quickly.

How do I grant someone the editbugs permission?
Go to the editusers interface and search for their email address, then click on their entry in the result list. You should see a checkbox next to the "editbugs" label. Check it, then click on "save changes". All done!
