Bugzilla

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 existing features, although bear the following points in mind before making a feature/enhancement request:

• If the request is specific to a Wikimedia wiki, please discuss the issue on that wiki first.
• Consider whether a custom extension would be more appropriate.

How do I report a bug

1. Go to bugzilla.wikimedia.org.
2. 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 search page.
3. If you are sure that your issue has not already been reported then click 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).
4. Select 'MediaWiki' as the product.
5. 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
6. Click 'Commit'

That's it! For maximum chance of your bug being fixed, you are advised to read the bug writing guidelines first.

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.
