Tracker issue labels

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).

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.

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.

partner

Generally this is only set by the triaging team. This issue is very important to a Moodle Partner (and their clients). The Moodle HQ stable team uses this to give Partner issues some priority attention when choosing what bug to work on.

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.
