The wiki is slowly getting deprecated. Replace all wiki links with their
respective replacements.
Only the translation project information still only resides on the wiki.
Based on feedback by @mcatanzaro on #gnome-design, the current issue templates may discourage filing issue templates when the bug is already fixed in main, even if it's affecting the supported stable versions.
What we want to know is whether it's happening in main or not.
Also, in order to use consistent language across the template text, converge on "latest development version".
Add a default template that will be displayed by default when opening a
new issue. This encourages usage of the template selection, that users
not familiar with reporting issues might otherwise miss.
Users familiar with reporting issues will have the option to clear the
text and file an issue from scratch.
The existing Feature issue template is tailored for contributors who
understand the process, have insight on benefits and drawbacks.
In practice, that's a minority of the people how use the template.
For everybody else, the template appears to encourage submission of
features requests without previous community discussion. This often
results in poor quality issue descriptions which lack actual use
cases and naïvely assert there are no drawbacks. Poor quality issues
end up being closed, which sends negative vibes, feeding frustration
and unproductive behaviors.
Aiming to avoid the negativity trap and promote community engagement,
point people in the direction of Discourse and the place to discuss
ideas.
Also, add a new Shortcomings template to get more useful information
on the underlying problems motivating the feature request.
Issue templates are exposed to all users as a way to help them communicate their issues more effectively.
Epics were meant to be written by the project's contributors, so having a template for Epics serves only as a distraction.
The process of copying an URL to open in the browser, then saving it
with the propper name, and then figuring out how to install it is
cumbersome and hard to explain in short instructions.
So, just provide a terminal command that does the job.
Also, move this section to the top, so that the person filing the issue
is invited to test the Nightly before they invest time writing the
steps to reproduce.
