@Danny_B suggested to use a form to help to fill these tasks.

It's a pretty good idea, as they are frequent and the things to include stay the same.

General structure of the form

• Preamble : see below
• Title: probably better to let it blank, I can't figure better than <Brief description of what you want> on <wiki>
• Assigned to: /, field hidden
• Priority: needs triage, print the field
• Description : see below
• Tags : Wikimedia-Site-Requests, field hidden (we want to keep stuff simple and avoid tagging to extensions projects, advanced users will add projects later).
• Mark as create form

Preamble

The preamble goal is to explain how to fill form and give a checklist of the points to include:

Our team will process your request swiftly.

1. Under title, briefly describe change, mention the target wiki/event/organization
2. Let Priority to Needs triage, excepted if:
   1. you're blocked on a very urgent task without ; in such case use Unbreak now! and seek assistance on IRC (Freenode wikimedia-tech)
   2. you need this in the following days ; in such case use High and note in the description when you need this
3. Fill the description with the problem you're trying to solve and if known the configuration change you need. Don't forget to:
   1. for local project requests, include the target wiki and a link to the local discussion
   2. for smaller projects, include a link to a notification you added to the local village pump or more appropriated page about this change
   3. for throttle rules, include a date, a place, a event title, the number of participants and the IPv4 (and if applicable IPv6) used
   4. for domain whitelist requests, state when you're going to upload and what organization this is for
   5. specify when you need this change if something is blocked without

Perhaps add also a link to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes

Description

The description's main goal is to get a link and remember requesters to create local discussion:

[Replace this paragraph by the configuration change you need. Include the problem you're trying to solve with this configuration request.]

Local discussion:
[Replace this line by an URL to the discussion on the local project. Create such discussion now if you haven't one yet.]
