Once the guided form is set up (bug 36762), patch template/en/default/bug/create/user-message.html.tmpl to instead say something like Please read <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug">the guidelines</a> before creating a new [% terms.bug %] report here and <a href="query.cgi">search</a> for existing [% terms.bug %] reports. Less questions make everybody save time and help getting the problem fixed faster. If you are new to Bugzilla and prefer a simpler way to create a [% terms.bug %] report, try the <a href="enter_bug.cgi?format=guided">guided bug entry form</a>.
Perhaps related to bug 54606.
Created attachment 13919 [details] Patched user message to what was requested I saw that the deadline for this task was about to run out. If the person who has it claimed needs something to go off of here's what I believe is supposed to be done.
Realizing that this takes several lines on my screen, we should probably shorten this to something like Before reporting [% terms.abug %], please read the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug">guidelines</a> and <a href="query.cgi">search</a> for existing [% terms.bug %] reports. If you prefer a simpler way to create a [% terms.bug %] report, try the <a href="enter_bug.cgi?format=guided">guided bug entry form</a>. Thomas: Would you like to put a patch into Gerrit?
