Description John Kizer 2025-04-24 17:36:08 UTC
SUMMARY
The warning on the pre-populated Description field template that "If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org" leads to occasional user confusion, as it implies that feature requests aren't appropriate.

Could that warning perhaps be updated to "If you're not sure this is actually a bug or valid feature request, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org"?

This is maybe possibly related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240086 , but I read that as a request for a more holistic update to a targeted feature request template.

Thanks!

Good contribution opportunity for someone new. The exact line that needs to be changed is https://invent.kde.org/websites/bugs-kde-org/-/blob/kde-5.0/template/en/default/bug/create/create.html.tmpl#L469

I tried, but it gave me a "An error occurred editing the blob". :(

Ok, I got around the issue by editing the file locally.
