    <thetext>If possible (AFAIK it was, in other instances of bugzilla I have used in the past), I would propose to add a template for the reporting of an issue.

Something like:


Preconditions/Environment
-------------------------

List here what is the setup used.



Triggering Action/Cause
-----------------------

What how to make the phenomenon to happen.



Expectation
-----------

What should happen.



Actual Result
-------------

What really happens



Reproducibility
---------------

m/n

Where:
n = total number of attempts
m = number of times the phenomenon is visible


This template is more focused on reporting issues than requesting new features, but it could be adjusted to cover both.
Or maybe 2 different templates would be given to the user, then the one that is not needed could be removed by the user.</thetext>

    <thetext>It should be trivial to add this default text to the description field of all new bugs in the enter_bug.cgi script. This would require people to select all and delete if they didn&apos;t want to follow the template. Shall I add it?</thetext>

    <thetext>We are going to add a link in the Bugzilla New Bug page to a wiki page that will contain this template along with other information about providing a good bug description.  

This will allow for multiple templates that can be cut/pasted and more details without cluttering bugzilla&apos;s description area.</thetext>

Please review the Bugzilla Guidelines and use a New Bug Template to ensure you include all needed information.

    <thetext>Updated to &quot;Before posting a bug, please review the Yocto Project Bugzilla Guidelines wiki, the wiki also contains some Bugzilla Description Templates to help ensure a complete bug report or enhancement request is made.&quot;

I think this will work. Please update the https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bugzilla_Templates#Bugzilla_Templates as needed.</thetext>
