- T194256: Add warning to deepcat infotext
Event Timeline
Comment Actions
I'm closing this ticket because we decided earlier to add a warning message to the infotext of deepcat instead. I have created this ticket for it T194256. That should resolve the same issue.
I think it would make sense for the tickets you write to name them in a way that describes the issue but does not offer a solution yet. That makes it easier to collect further perspectives and potentially change the direction later on without having to make another ticket. I think it's important to add your solution to the ticket as well, but I would suggest doing that in a comment. When a consensus is reached, the final solution can be added to the task description and that will be what the developers will then estimate.
