-# Managing issues
-
-- Use [labels](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/labels):
- - Add _one_ of the `status: *` labels (or the `help wanted` label when ready-to-go).
- - Add _zero or one_ of the `type: *` labels.
- - Add _zero, one or more_ of the `non-standard syntax: *` labels.
- - Optionally, add the `good first issue` label.
-- Rename the title into a consistent format:
- - Lead with the [CHANGELOG group names](pull-requests.md), but in the present tense:
- - "Remove y" e.g. "Remove unit-blacklist".
- - "Deprecate x in y" e.g. "Deprecate resolvedNested option in selector-class-pattern".
- - "Add y" e.g. "Add unit-blacklist".
- - "Add x to y" e.g. "Add ignoreProperties: [] to property-blacklist".
- - "Fix false positives/negatives for x in y" e.g. "Fix false positives for Less mixins in color-no-hex".
- - Use `*` if the issue applies to a group of rules e.g. "Fix false negatives for SCSS variables in selector-*-pattern"
-- Provide a link to the relevant section of the [Developer Guide](../developer-guide.md) when:
- - Adding the `help wanted` label to encourage the original poster to contribute., e.g. [adding an option to an existing rule](../developer-guide/rules.md#adding-an-option-to-an-existing-rule) or [fixing a bug in an existing rule](../developer-guide/rules.md#fixing-a-bug-in-an-existing-rule).
- - Closing an issue because the feature is best part of ecosystem e.g. [a plugin](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/blob/master/docs/developer-guide/plugins.md) or [processor](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/blob/master/docs/developer-guide/processors.md).
-- Use milestones only on issues and not on pull requests:
- - Use the `future-major` milestone for issues that introduce breaking changes.
- - Optionally, create version milestones (e.g. `8.x`) to manage upcoming releases.
-- Use the following saved reply to close any issue that do not use the template:
-
-```md
-Thanks for creating this issue but we are closing it as issues need to follow our issue template, so that we can clearly understand your particular circumstances.
-
-Please help us to help you by [recreating the issue](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/issues/new) using the template.
-```
-
-General rules of thumb:
-
-- Use the `status: discussion`, `status: needs clarification` or `status: needs investigation` label when first triaging an issue.
-- Use the `help wanted`, a `type` (and `non-standard syntax: *` and `good first issue`) labels when a course of action is agreed.
-- Use the `status: wip` label when your are, or someone has said they are, about to start working on an issue.
