Find existing bugs and feature requests

Discuss with others

You can ask questions about possible bugs or feature ideas at a few locations. This may be helpful if you are unsure how to clearly describe the bug or feature idea:

File a task in Phabricator

If you are familiar with Phabricator, you can search and file tasks directly.

If you are not yet familiar: Phabricator is the web-based development collaboration tool mostly used to manage MediaWiki software projects including Wikifunctions. A short summary about Phabricator for newcomers, including tutorial videos, is on MediaWiki's wiki at mw:Phabricator/Help.

  • You can search the listing of open tasks to see if your bug or feature idea is already documented.
  • You can file a new task. Please always include:
    • Examples
    • Any relevant links
    • For bugs: The exact steps that produced the bug, so that the team can reproduce and diagnose it.

Languages

The development team understands a limited number of languages – but you are free to report issues in any language that you're comfortable with.

If possible, please provide a summary in English when creating a phabricator task, or ask someone to help you.

Follow-up

  • The locations above are followed by the Wikifunctions development team, as well as community members. The time to get a reply varies depending on the nature or complexity of the topic, etc. However, in general, you can get an answer within 2 workdays. Please let us know if we missed something, as life can get distracting!
  • Not all problems can be solved immediately: depending on the impact, priority, etc. some bugs can be triaged to low priority. You may follow the status of your report on the relevant linked phabricator task.
