+title: Issue Guidelines
+---
+
+Due to the influx of low quality or incomprehensible issues,
+we prefer to begin possible bug reports or feature requests as *discussions*,
+and elevate them to issues if they can be confirmed by a member to be relevant,
+and once enough information about the problem has been gathered.
+
+{{< callout type=info >}}
+
+### Why?
+
+We are volunteers, doing this in our free time. Out of respect, please read this document
+_fully_ before posting an issue _or_ discussion. If you can spend a few minutes reading this,
+it saves us, the developers, much more time overall, so we can deliver fixes and features faster.
+
+Thank you!
+

+
+## Issue Guidelines
+
+If you are experiencing a bug, or missing a feature, please do not open an issue.
+Instead, we ask you to open a [discussion](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/discussions).
+
+### Before you start a discussion
+
+_Search the discussions and issues thoroughly_. It's likely that there's already one open for your bug / feature that you can
+just "like" instead of wasting both your time writing a new one and our time closing it and redirecting you.
+
+### The lifecycle of a discussion
+
+A discussion is opened by a user.
+
+For bugs:
+- If a discussion is solved, user error, or not a hyprland issue, it gets closed.
+- If a discussion is a Hyprland problem, but cannot be tied to Hyprland in a clear way, or is not reproducible, it stays a discussion until that changes.
+- If a discussion is reproducible, a member of Hyprland promotes the discussion to an issue by opening an issue with the key information and links the original discussion.
+
+For feature requests:
+- If a discussion describes a feature that is already possible (via scripts, features, or official tools), invalid, or not applicable, it gets closed.
+- If a discussion describes a feature that is _not_ already possible, it stays a discussion.
+- If a discussion describes a feature that is _not_ already possible, and it gathers enough attention, a member may promote it to an issue by opening an issue with the key information and links the original discussion.
+
+Please note we are all volunteers and our numbers are small, so issues may stay idle.
+
+### Gathering attention for your discussion / a discussion you care about
+
+Avoid posting comments such as "when fix?". Instead, use the thumbs up
+reaction under the discussion, or issue (if one exists).
+
+If a discussion has reached 5 "likes" or more, and it hasn't been promoted, you may ping a member in the discussion
+(`@vaxerski`, `@fufexan` or `@notashelf` are the most likely ones to work)
+
+Please ***do not*** ping the members just because the discussion has become stale,
+or failed to gather attention. If that is the case, attempt to bring it back
+on track by posting *further* relevant information that might spark a discussion,
+or tell people interested about the discussion so that they can "like" it.
