[Request] Add More Tags For Different Types OF Bugs #610

Closed Half-Modern closed 8 hours ago

Half-Modern commented 5 months ago

In my opinion, any bugs affect functionality is more important than visual bugs. For that reason, I request maintainers to add more types of tags to differentiate between those. For example: (Functionality) Browser hangs if I click blablabla (Visual) Buttons don't appear correctly (Site-specific) Blablabla.com gives error "X232411" Unfortunately, not everyone puts some user made tag at the beginning of titles of their issues, so, having tags would help standardization and better management.

You are absolutely righ. And this is link to previous discussion about that: #284

As I mentioned in that topic, (And have checked now on Half-Life repo for example ). The user, reporting bug, can't assign such extended labels. The additional (extented) labels should be assigned by project manager/maintainer, having access rights to do this. After analyzing the issue.

Or as another option, Its need to have several issue templates, as now for just a "bug". So users will select them by itself, not depending on maintainer attension.

I think, for more convenience in management, its prefered to assign its by dev/manager (but there are no manager here, so it should be done by 1 dev, if he has a time and wish for this).

+1 for that option or as most easy/lazy option, make a note with list of most frequent and appropriated tags at the beginning of bug template

... btw will go add it

Yes 🥇 I do also find it a pity that all those "please make this GUI element 5 pixels wider"-tickets are congesting the tracker, and prevent you from working at the more important bugs/crashes/synchronization-API-improvements.

seems that 3 labels was added a time ago, but will template be added in near future? or there is a plans about repo maintainer?

win32ss commented 5 months ago

I have started adding labels manually to new issues and will add templates for these labels, although I am not sure if many users will take advantage of them.
