The Moodle Tracker allows issues to be "labelled" with tags. This page lists common labels that we use to flag aspects about our MDL issues (bugs and feature requests about Moodle itself).
Note: Labels can only be added by a user with permission to edit an issue i.e. the issue reporter, members of the developers group, or members of certain other groups.
Labels
- triaged
- Generally this is only set by the triaging team. It indicated that the issue has been confirmed, with basic fields like "Severity" checked and is now ready for a developer to look at.
- mdlqa
- Used to flag that an issue is a direct result of a Moodle QA test, conducted just before major releases. The bug should also be LINKED to the original MDLQA test, so that developers/integrators can reset the original MDLQA test (for re-testing) when the MDL issue is fixed.
- qa_test_required
- Used to flag issues that should be regularly tested in future MDLQA tests. QA people will look for issues with this label periodically when creating new tests.
- docs_required
- Used to flag issues that have created a need for documentation work, such as new pages, changes, or even being added to upcoming release notes. Docs people will look for these issues periodically when working on documentation, removing the label once documentation has been written.
- dev_docs_required
- Used to flag issues that need to be noted in the dev docs.
- integration_held
- Used to flag issues already sent to integration that, for any cause, have been postponed to next cycles. Used only by integrators when there is some dependency or time-period causing one issue not being immediately integrable. Must be cleaned when the held is over.
- security_held: Used to flag security issues that have been reviewed by integrators already but held from integration repository. These issues must be cleared during point releases.
- partner
- Moodle Partners apply this label to flag issues that are important to their clients. The Moodle HQ dev team takes this label into consideration when setting roadmap and bug fixing priorities.
- patch
- This label indicates that a solution (patch) has been attached to the issue. However, if you can, it may be better to submit the issue for peer review, rather than using this label. This is useful to component leads and Moodle HQ when deciding what to work on next.
- ui_change
- Used to identify issues that affect the interface presented to users. This label will usually be added together with the docs_required label, but the ui_change will remain permanently with the issue, while the docs_required label is removed after docs are created. This label is searched for during the preparation of release notes.
- api_change
- Used to identify API changes. This label will usually be added together with the dev_docs_required label, but the api_change will remain permanently with the issue, while the dev_docs_required label is removed after docs are created. This label is searched for during the preparation of release notes.
- lost_functionality
- Used to identify issues describing functionality which was available in an earlier version but which is no longer available in the latest version.
