196.11.134.77: /* What is Bugzilla? */

[[Image:Computer bug.svg|right|200px|All your bug are belong to me!]]
'''Bugzilla''' is a site [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ bugzilla.wikimedia.org] to report bugs in the [[MediaWiki]] software and request new features or enhancements.

== What is Bugzilla? ==

Bugzilla is also a name of on-line bug-tracking tool, which is used on a lot of other websites. For more information see [[w:Bugzilla|Wikipedia article on Bugzilla]].

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

Wikimedia Bugzilla site is sometimes referred as Mediazilla.

== Reporting a bug ==

# Go to [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org bugzilla.wikimedia.org].
# Use the search box on the main page to see if your bug has already been submitted. You can also perform more advanced searches on the [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/query.cgi search page].
# If you are sure that your issue has not already been reported then click [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi enter a new bug] in the toolbox on the left. You will be prompted to login if you have not already done so (see 'Why must I register?', below).
# Select 'MediaWiki' as the product.
# Fill in the following boxes (the rest can be left blank):
#* Component (if you don't know, select 'General/Unknown')
#* Summary - a short one-sentence summary of the issue
#* Description - full details of the issue, giving as much detail as possible
# Click 'Commit'

That's it! For maximum chance of your bug being fixed, you are advised to read the [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html bug writing guidelines] first..

== Requesting a feature ==

Before making a feature/enhancement request:
* Consider whether a custom [[Extension:Contents|extension]] would be more appropriate.
* If the request is specific to a Wikimedia wiki, please discuss the issue on that wiki first. Devs will usually ask you for a link showing a community consensus.

Then follow the same directions as above, except you probably need to select 'Wikimedia' instead of 'MediaWiki'.

== What syntax can I use? ==
Bugzilla comments are plain text, you cannot use HTML. However, Bugzilla will automatically make hyperlinks for certain type of text in comments:
* most types of URLs, e.g. http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/
* bug 12345
* comment 7
* bug 23456, comment 53
* attachment 4321
MediaWiki-style internal links are also supported, by default they point to English Wikipedia. It seems like some interwiki or project prefixes are supported as well, but you cannot specify the <code>|name]]</code> of the link.

== Why must I register? ==

We need you to register in order 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 is unable to replicate your problem they will ask for more information.

Registering is free and easy. Simply 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 login using the password you receive in the confirmation e-mail (which can be changed in your preferences once you have logged in).

Once logged in, you can change your preferences to specify what kinds of e-mail Bugzilla sends you (with the option of turning off all e-mail). To do this click 'my preferences' in the top right and select the 'email settings' tab.

Please note that (unlike on Wikimedia projects) your email address will be visible to everyone. Some people prefer to set up a separate e-mail account (using a free webmail service) for working with Bugzilla.

== Why can't I report bugs here? ==

You can. You can also report 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.

== How do I link to a bug? ==

If you want to create a link from a page on MediaWiki.org to a Bugzilla bug, use <code><nowiki>[[bugzilla:XXX]]</nowiki></code>, where XXX is the bug number you want to link to. For example <code><nowiki>[[bugzilla:4198]]</nowiki></code> will result in the following output: [[bugzilla:4198]].

196.11.245.33: /* Uses */

'''Nuvola''' (from [[italian language|Italian]] "[[cloud]]", Nuvola as evolution of the SKY icon theme) is a [[free software]] / [[open-source software]] [[icon (computing)|icon]] set drawn by [[David Vignoni]]. Originally created for [[desktop environment]]s like [[KDE]] and [[GNOME]], it was repackaged for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]{{fact}} and [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]]. The final version, 1.0, contains almost 600 icons. The default set is in the [[PNG]] graphics format; an [[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]] version is also available.

The application icons, in particular, colourfully represent a wide variety of commonplace and easily-recognised objects. Most icons are [[blue]], but other colours are present as well.

It's released under terms of [[GNU LGPL]] 2.1.

== Uses ==
Besides [[KDE]] and [[GNOME]], ''Nuvola'' is used by the [[Gaim]] instant messaging client and the [[Amarok (audio)|Amarok]] media player.
Nuvola is also the default icon set on the [[OpenLab GNU/Linux]] distribution.
