Template:Tracked/doc

This template is intended to be used on feedback pages and talk pages for software deployments. It floats right-aligned next to whichever content it precedes. Imagine we see a comment like the following:

Now let's say we want to note that there's a bug in the bug tracker for this. We'll add the following code:  (where 300 is the number of the bug).

Sample output:

We can leave it at that. If we'd like to note the fact that the bug's been fixed, we can note its status via. In addition to, we support  ,   and   resolution. (Style note: We're not using big scary red colors for the resolution to avoid scaring or annoying the reporter.) Example with the  keyword:

We're deliberately not using this keyword for bugs which are resolved one way or another: We're adding this to the template to note to all readers of the page that the seriousness of a bug has been critical. This keyword should only be used if the bug has also been marked as critical in Bugzilla. Example usage:

Sample output:

Of course, feel free to avoid using this template if tracking a comment is not useful.

If you check the "Enable tracking bugs on Bugzilla using the template." checkbox at your Gadget preferences, the gadget will automatically update the bug display using the Bugzilla API.
