I noticed that the “About the Bug Reports category” topic lacks certain information about updates made to bug reports with the exception of @AllowBugReports recently. One update that it doesn’t include is the status labels added to bug reports. Even though they are self explanatory, I feel that adding the descriptions of the 4 statuses would be helpful for those who are new to bug reporting by making them aware of all possible labels and the process(es) they represent.

There is other information that I personally think should be added to address possible misconceptions such as:
When a bug report is filed, a ticket is automatically filed to the internal database.

The absence of a filing confirmation doesn’t mean that a report has been ignored.

Edits to a bug report’s description and/or title have no effect on how it’s processed.

I will edit this topic if I think of any more important info. If anyone else can think of other information that should be added, feel free to tag in.
It looks great; It provides a better overview of the bug reports category now! I feel that the added information will help folks who are new to bug reporting as well as those who have misconceptions and have been involved in the process for a long time. Thank you!
I think that I may have found a mistake though. For this statement, did you mean to say, “Edits to a bug report’s title and description have no effect on how it’s processed internally.”? The current wording just seems odd/vague to me, but I could be wrong. Can you confirm that the current statement is correct and intentional? Thanks again!
This wording makes a report’s title and description appear as though they’re not important. Any title and description will do regardless of detail and quality.
