If we start using templates, we should also include a link to python-ideas among the options. I already saw a few reports proposing ideas (e.g. python/cpython#91509 and python/cpython#91540). |
I'd support issue templates, and I think we should implement them with some urgency. There's been a particularly large increase in issues proposing radical syntax changes, as well as issues from beginners seeking user help. As well as the ones you've already pointed out, there's also been:
The fact that filers of issues can't (without issue templates) add their own labels (like they could on BPO) also increases the triaging burden for each new issue. |
@AlexWaygood re: urgency, would you like to PR up some basic templates? We could merge that sooner to help steer people in the right direction. And then iterate to get all the neat dropdowns and so on in Ezio's post. |
Yup, sounds good — I'll try to send a PR today! |
The template added by @AlexWaygood in python/cpython#91569 seems to be working well, so I think this can be closed. Should the need arise to improve upon what we have, a new issue can be opened. |
After the migration, we could use issue templates on the
python/cpython
repo.When the user clicks on the green "New Issue" button, we could present a few options (like this repo does):
The first four provide a first level of triaging, by determining the type of issue. The last two can be links to the security policy page (or something equivalent) and a Devguide section about reporting bugs. Each of them should have a description to clarify when to use them. An additional link to python-ideas could be added too.
It is also possible to create templates that use forms, with dropdowns and textareas that can be filled by the user.
If we do this, we could have a few dropdowns for
A few other considerations:
I still have to play around more with issue templates to better understand the extent of their capabilities, and I'm open to more ideas and feedback, especially from people that have related experience on other repos.
