Could we instead draw users' attention to the page listing what all the different priorities mean, e.g. by having Bugzilla ask "Are you sure this meets the criteria for a highest priority bug?" and then linking to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla/Fields#Priority ? -- Nathan Larson 703-399-9376 http://mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Leucosticte _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
