Tagging bugs about Launchpad

Launchpad's Bug Tracker allows you to create ad-hoc groups of bugs with tagging.

In the Launchpad team, we have a list of agreed tags that we may apply to bugs reported against various aspects of Launchpad itself. By using a standard set of tags, each explained on this page, we can avoid confusion.

Proposing new tags

New tags, or changes in the meaning of existing tags, are to be proposed on the launchpad-dev list, and must be accepted there.

After discussion, the proposer should update this page, moving the tag to the approved section or deleting it.
