Style issues are problems of any kind with the current [[Official Style Guideline|OfficialStyleGuideline]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. They get listed on the pages around here:
* [[High Priority Open Style Issue|HighPriorityOpenStyleIssue]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s
* [[Open Style Issue|OpenStyleIssue]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s
* [[Closed Style Issue|ClosedStyleIssue]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s
* [[No Style Issue|NoStyleIssue]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s

==How should I list a style isue?==

[[Image:Attention.png]] ''This is a first draft of the issue traking process in this wiki.''

You can list it on [[Minor Style Issue|MinorStyleIssue]]. '''But''' this page is not well maintained, and the issue will probably not get much attention and therefore not get fixed.

''Never ever create a list of StyleIssue<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s on any other page.'' (exceptions might come up over time :-) )

Ideally create a page with a [[Good WikiName|GoodWikiName]] that describes the issue. Then you assign <code><nowiki>CategoryOpenStyleIssue</nowiki></code> to that page. And whoopla, it gets added to the automatic list on [[Open Style Issue|OpenStyleIssue]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. And for God's sake, ''please intertwingle the page''.

Issues that are not going to be fixed or are not really issues that the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]] thinks to be worth spending thoughts on will get <code><nowiki>CategoryNoStyleIssue</nowiki></code>. They can still remain in the wiki, be linked to and discussed. Perhaps one day they become an issue again...

An issue that got fixed ''remains in the wiki''. It just gets assigned <code><nowiki>CategoryClosedStyleIssue</nowiki></code>.

The very important [[Open Style Issue|OpenStyleIssue]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s get an ''additional''<code><nowiki>CategoryHighPriorityOpenStyleIssue</nowiki></code>. The page [[High Priority Open Style Issue|HighPriorityOpenStyleIssue]] is one of the exceptions to the no-lists rule above. Since these issues are of high priority, there will not only be an automated list, but also a human-maintained list with short descriptions.

[[User:mo|mo]] has volunteered to take care of [[Style Issues|StyleIssues]]. He has no special authority, but he will simply be the guy who does the work: keeping track of discussions on the [[Users Mailing List|UsersMailingList]] and the [[Style Mailing List|StyleMailingList]], adding new pages into the above scheme (with [[Good WikiName|GoodWikiName]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s and well intertwingled!), and describing the issues.

Deciding upon prioities is something that should be done based on rough consensus within the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]] and with the [[Main Developer|MainDeveloper]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s.
