DPL talk:Bug Reports

Removal Suggestion

I'd recommend to remove this line from the article page:

Please add new bugs concerning DPL at the top of this document.

While probably helpful, as it would add a bias toward the newest topics making sure that they are promptly considered, it is counter a fairly established practice of adding items at the end of the page, often simply using the + tab at the top of the page.

Also, clearly the current users of the page disagree with it, as they all have appended all bug reports at the end, but if the alternative method has to be enforced, I'd suggest to manually revert the order of the bug reports and move the line at the very end of the document, and highlight it with a much larger font and a red/orange frame or red characters.

I agree, or else change how "+" adds new comments (and, better yet, use a forum extension--discussion/talk pages suck at it by default). -Eep² 12:06, 17 August 2007 (CEST)

changed to bottom. Gero 12:18, 17 August 2007 (CEST)

Problems with editing the Bug Report

I had massive problems with "section editing" in the Bug Report. The reason (I think) was that a DPL statement produced a chapter header which was shown in the output. All section offsets after that header were false by 1. So I decided to remove the offending piece of code. Gero 10:21, 28 September 2007 (CEST)
