# Managing issues
We manage issues consistently for the benefit of ourselves and our users.
## Labels
Use [labels](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/labels).
When you first triage an issue, you should:
- add one of the `status: needs *` labels, e.g. `status: need discussion`
- don't add any other label
After triage, you should add:
- _one_ of the non-need `status: *` labels, e.g. `status: ready to implement`
- _zero or one_ of the `type: *` labels, e.g. `status: new rule`
- _zero, one or more_ of the `syntax: *` labels, e.g. `syntax: scss`
- optionally, the `good first issue`, `help wanted`, `priority: high` and `upstream` labels
## Milestones
Use [milestones](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/milestones).
You should:
- use the `future-major` milestone for issues that introduce breaking changes
- optionally, create version milestones (e.g. `8.x`) to manage upcoming releases
## Titles
Rename the title into a consistent format.
You should:
- lead with the [CHANGELOG group names](pull-requests.md), but in the present tense:
- "Remove y", e.g. "Remove unit-disallowed-list"
- "Deprecate x in y", e.g. "Deprecate resolvedNested option in selector-class-pattern"
- "Add y", e.g. "Add unit-disallowed-list"
- "Add x to y", e.g. "Add ignoreProperties: [] to property-disallowed-list"
- "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"
## Saved replies
You should use [saved replies](https://help.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/working-with-saved-replies).
### Close an issue
That doesn't use a template:
```md
Thank you for creating this issue. However, issues need to follow one of our templates so that we can clearly understand your particular circumstances.
Please help us help you by [recreating the issue](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/issues/new/choose) using one of our templates.
```
That is best-suited as a plugin:
```md
Thank you for your suggestion. I think this is best-suited as a [plugin](https://stylelint.io/developer-guide/plugins).
```
### Label as ready to implement
That fixes a bug in a rule:
```md
I've labeled the issue as ready to implement. Please consider [contributing](https://stylelint.io/contributing) if you have time.
There are [steps on how to fix a bug in a rule](https://stylelint.io/developer-guide/rules#fix-a-bug-in-a-rule) in the Developer guide.
```
That adds a new option to a rule:
