 Unless you are a developer, you have a straightforward choice between reporting a bug, or asking for a change. In either case, there are two things you must do before opening your ticket: 
 
-1. Check [/query?status=assigned&status=closed&status=confirmed&status=new&status=pending&status=reopened&max=10000&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=milestone&col=resolution&col=time&col=changetime&col=keywords&order=keywords this list] to see if your bug or change request has already been reported. It's a long list, so use your browser's search feature to look for relevant keywords in the list. It is much better to add a comment to an existing ticket than to open a new one - even if the ticket is closed, the person who fixed a bug the first time may no longer be around, so it will help current developers to know if it's a bug that's happened before. (Developers should do this too, before creating task tickets.)

-2. Post about your bug or change request on the Vanilla forum: http://angband.oook.cz/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3. Please do not open a ticket unless at least one other person can reproduce your bug. For change requests, please do not open a ticket unless there is a significant degree of support for the idea (i.e. more people in favour than against, and more than three people bothering to comment). (Developers should discuss code changes on IRC before creating task tickets.)

 So, let's assume you've done both of those. You've posted on Oook and received corroborating/supporting views on your bug/change, and you've checked all previous tickets and found nothing matching your issue. Go ahead and click on New Ticket. The first thing to do is give it a sensible title (the "Summary" field). Try and make this as specific as possible, while keeping it short. 
 
-Next, you need to give a brief description of the issue. Make sure you put a link to the Ooook thread in this box. If it's a bug, describe the steps to reproduce the problem. If developers cannot reproduce the bug, they cannot fix it. If it's a change, describe clearly and concisely what the end product of the change should be.

 Below the description box there are five other fields. Type is described above - make sure you set it to the correct type. The other four are:

 Owner - leave this field blank unless you have an agreement from a specific developer that s/he will take ownership of this issue.
 
-At the very bottom is a checkbox to attach files to your ticket. If it is a bug, please attach a current savefile from which the bug can be reproduced. If you cannot attach a savefile, please explain why not in the ticket description. If you have a patch to fix your bug or implemented your desired change, attaching it will make it *much* more likely that your ticket will be actioned. Please ensure that patches are in "unified diff" format and are against the latest development code at https://github.com/angband/angband. Please ensure that your patch follows the CodingGuidelines.
