Managing issues

We manage issues consistently for the benefit of ourselves and our users.

Labels

Use labels.

When you first triage an issue, you should:

• add one of the status: needs * labels, e.g. status: need discussion
• don't add any other label

After triage, you should add:

• one of the non-need status: * labels, e.g. status: ready to implement
• zero or one of the type: * labels, e.g. status: new rule
• zero, one or more of the syntax: * labels, e.g. syntax: scss
• optionally, the good first issue, help wanted, priority: high and upstream labels

Milestones

Use milestones.

You should:

• use the future-major milestone for issues that introduce breaking changes
• optionally, create version milestones (e.g. 8.x) to manage upcoming releases

Titles

Rename the title into a consistent format.

You should:

• lead with the CHANGELOG group names, but in the present tense:
  • "Remove y", e.g. "Remove unit-blacklist"
  • "Deprecate x in y", e.g. "Deprecate resolvedNested option in selector-class-pattern"
  • "Add y", e.g. "Add unit-blacklist"
  • "Add x to y", e.g. "Add ignoreProperties: [] to property-blacklist"
  • "Fix false positives/negatives for x in y", e.g. "Fix false positives for Less mixins in color-no-hex"
• use * if the issue applies to a group of rules, e.g. "Fix false negatives for SCSS variables in selector-*-pattern"

Saved replies

You should use saved replies.

Close an issue

That doesn't use a template:

Thank you for creating this issue. However, issues need to follow one of our templates so that we can clearly understand your particular circumstances.

Please help us help you by [recreating the issue](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/issues/new/choose) using one of our templates.

That is best-suited as a plugin:
