• Please try and be clear about why existing docs do not work.

Once it's filed:

• The project team will evaluate the edit request, possibly asking you more questions to understand its purpose and any relevant requirements. If the issue is closed, the team will convey their reasoning and suggest an alternative path forward.
• If the edit request is accepted, it will be marked for implementation with edit-accepted, which can then be done by either by a core team member or by anyone in the community who wants to contribute edits.

Note: The team is unlikely to be able to accept every single edit request that is filed. Please understand if they need to say no.

Label Issues

Needs Collaborator: Issue Tracker

One of the most important tasks in handling issues is labeling them usefully and accurately. All other tasks involving issues ultimately rely on the issue being classified in such a way that relevant parties looking to do their own tasks can find them quickly and easily.

In order to label issues, open up the list of unlabeled issues and, from newest to oldest, read through each one and apply issue labels according to the table below. If you're unsure about what label to apply, skip the issue and try the next one: don't feel obligated to label each and every issue yourself!

Label	Apply When	Notes
bug	Cases where something behaves in a way it wasn't intended.	If something surprises the user but does not go against the way the project is designed, it should use the enhancement label.
critical	Added to bug issues if the problem described makes the project completely unusable in a common situation.
documentation	Added to issues that affect any of the documentation for the project.	Can be combined with other labels, such as bug or enhancement.
duplicate	Added to issues or PRs that refer to the exact same issue as another one that's been previously labeled.	Duplicate issues should be marked and closed right away, with a message referencing the issue it's a duplicate of (with #123)
enhancement	Added to edit requests, PRs, or documentation issues that are purely additive: the project behaves as expected, but a feature is being requested or suggested.
help wanted	Applied by Committers to issues and PRs that they would like to get outside help for. Generally, this means it's lower priority for the maintainer team to itself implement, but that the community is encouraged to pick up if they so desire	Never applied on first-pass labeling.
in-progress	Applied by Committers to PRs that are pending some work before they're ready for review.	The original PR submitter should @mention the team member that applied the label once the PR is complete.
performance	This issue or PR is directly related to improving performance.
refactor	Added to issues or PRs that deal with cleaning up or modifying the project for the betterment of it.
support	This issue is either asking a question about how to use the project, clarifying the project features, or possibly reporting a bug but does not have enough detail yet to determine whether it would count as such.
wont-add	Labelers may apply this label to issues that clearly have nothing at all to do with the project or are otherwise entirely outside of its scope/sphere of influence. Committers may apply this label and close an issue or PR if they decide to pass on an otherwise relevant issue.	The issue or PR should be closed as soon as the label is applied, and a clear explanation provided of why the label was used. Contributors are free to contest the labeling, but the decision ultimately falls on committers as to whether to accept something or not.
