== 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' as the product.

All your bug are belong to me!
All your bug are belong to me!

All bugs in the MediaWiki software should be reported at bugzilla.wikimedia.org. This is also the place to request new features or enhancements to the software.

What is Bugzilla?

For more information, see the Wikipedia article on Bugzilla.


Bugzilla is an on-line 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.

The Wikimedia Bugzilla site is sometimes referred as Mediazilla.

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.

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