How to report a problem?

michal frackowiak 02 Aug 2006 11:27

Before you post a bug report please read the following recommendations:

Is it really a bug?

First consider if it really is a bug (problem) or a feature. Check the documentation section if you are unsure.

Is a similar problem reported already?

Please check the forums (and the documentation) if a similar problem occured in the past.

And also have a look here :- http://community.wikidot.com/bugs

Include the following details (if applicable)

• "Title" for a bug (in the title of the post)
• Where the problem occurred (URL address or description, e.g. "My Account panel -> Contacts")
• Which browser do you use + version? Which operating system? (e.g. Firefox 1.5.0.4, Linux Ubuntu 6.06)
• Description of a bug/problem.
• Steps to reproduce (if reproducible)

Of course you do not have to include all these details if a bug is obvious, i.e. you think it should be enough to say what does not work.

These same requirements still apply, but please post bugs to the new bug management system
This should help keep the bugs organized and easy to search for our developers!

Note: The bug management system was made by me, and I am in no way part of wikidot, I am simply a user here. It is not official, but considering that the offical developers have not done anything with the bug system they (michal frackowiak who posted this topic) setup, I figured It would be a good idea to setup a much easier to search and maintain database of bugs.
