We made a bug ticket template that clearly asks for both “Actual Results” and “Expected Results” to help with this. T98466 On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 2:25 PM, Derk-Jan Hartman < d.j.hartman+wmf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On 8 jun. 2015, at 19:52, Jon Katz

Re: [WikimediaMobile] Task/bug naming conventions

Good call, Gergo, and for calling out crap when you see it. I know I am to blame on a lot of these (including the above example). I think the language solution you described is pretty good. restating suggested rules for those who don't read prose: - bugs-->explain bad state in present tense

Re: [WikimediaMobile] handling HTML in native apps
