# Decision 17: Issue labels
- Choice: Issues carry the labels of the repository by these rules. The
maintainer approved them on 2026-10-06, and they were applied to the
issues triaged on 2026-10-05.
- **Bug**: a confirmed bug, open or fixed. An unconfirmed report gets no
type label.
- **Enhancement**: a feature request or an improvement, also of the tests.
- **Documentation**: a request for documentation or a gap in it.
- **Question**: a usage question, with **Solution Delivered** once it is
answered. A documentation request that the docs answer gets
**Documentation** and **Solution Delivered**.
- **WontFix**: the cause is outside the module, or a fix is too complex.
- **Help Wanted**: the maintainer needs help from outside, such as a
tester with a file server for #34.
- **Needs Info**, added on 2026-10-06: the issue waits for the reporter.
- **CodePlex** marks the issues migrated from CodePlex, **Duplicate** a
duplicate.
- Closing: answered and fixed issues close as completed, not reproducible
ones and won't fix as not planned. A not reproducible issue keeps its
labels; the close reason says enough.
- Rationale: The labels existed but weren't applied consistently. Fixed
bugs carried Question or no label, and nothing marked the issues that
wait for their reporters.
