It's an extension. All of that information is on the extension description page (which I actually kind of expected it to link to, but I guess not). Legoktm was kind enough to paste it here, but should that really be necessary?

Also I should probably point out that if you want people to follow a specific page when requesting components, it would help if there were some clear reference to said page when requesting component. Just a thought.

legoktm: Thanks!

You could provide a link to the extension description page in your initial comment. You probably know https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug but of course I can also try to search for the homepage myself if I have time... ;)

Where would that reference be? Component description? I wouldn't try to cover all cases why a ticket might be filed under the Bugzilla component in Wikimedia Bugzilla as there's lots of other requests than component creation ones...

If you want to link to something, you can use usual Mediawiki markup. Just writing Extension:textinthisway won't create a link. However this might be a nice idea for code which is at http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/wikimedia%2Fbugzilla%2Fmodifications.git/HEAD/extensions%2FWikimedia%2FExtension.pm

Anyway, component created. :)

As I said, I expected bugzilla to understand Extension:Blah to be a mediawiki extension and link it, given the regularity under which extensions come up here. Unfortunately what is and isn't turned into links seems to be pretty arbitrary, and there's no way to preview things.

Indeed; Bugzilla seems ill-equipped to properly handle these kinds of requests. You cannot reasonably expect people to find the related pages on mw.org when there's no mention of them when they do exist (and in other cases they don't at all), but nor is there any way in the interface to make such clear or even link to related information.

Hopefully you may come up with some ideas of what can be done about this, because I've got nothing at the moment that don't involve hurling the entire bugzilla UI out the window.

How would the markup actually work? Does it support interwikis? How are we supposed to figure it out? Just leave a bunch of test comments on a random bug? MediaWiki's markup is far from intuitive, and trying to use it here is even less so, especially when there's no way to test it without saving things, most of which cannot be edited later.

Anyway, component created. :)

Thank you.

I don't expect people to find them. So I manually link to them.

Hehe. :) Yes, working on it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BUGZILLA#Linking_to_bugs_from_Wikipedia covers this a bit (but the page predates my Wikimedia life).

If you really want to test, I'd rather recommend using http://boogs.wmflabs.org/
