### Prioritizing
Ignore any urgency labels. These labels will be assigned by Ben, or Brian, this will allow us to effectively sort through bugs and prioritize them accordingly. If you believe the issue is severe enough to warrant the triggering Superhero then skip to the Superhero header below.
### Normal issues
1. Make a card - fill out the bug template fully, if for any reason you cannot or don't understand what is happening, start a fresh Zulip topic with an appropriate title and tag @BugTeam.
2. Give the card a `Type::Bug (Triage)` label, do not add any others.
3. Make a new topic in the Bugs stream on Zulip, link the Gitlab issue in there, tag the `@BugTeam`.
4. If the issue seems to fall between the cracks, which can happen at busy times. Re-tag `@BugTeam` or direct message one of us.
### Urgent / Unsure
1. Follow the steps laid out in the above section.
2. Tag `@Developers` and `@BugTeam` in Zulip.
3. Discussion should be had on the issue card once others attention is gained through Zulip.
### Superhero
1.[Assess whether the card objectively meats the criteria for triggering Superhero status.](https://developers.minds.com/docs/handbook/superhero/) If you're not sure, treat it as urgent and follow the above steps.
2. Tag `@Developers` via Zulip. Gain confirmation of the issues severity, and urgency - if nobody is around, skip to step 3.

#### Community members
Community members can either [create a new issue](https://gitlab.com/minds/minds/issues/new), report it through [Help and Support](https://www.minds.com/groups/profile/100000000000000681/feed) or [Report a Bug](https://www.minds.com/issues/report).
If you would like to to create your own card, please tag a team member to assign labels for you, and use the `bug` template next to your issue title to help us validate your issue.
Firstly, assess the priority of the bug to the best of your abilities.
If you believe the issue is severe enough to warrant the triggering of Superhero then skip to the Superhero header below. Urgent bugs are lesser than superhero, but still need immediate attention. Keep in mind that urgent issues disrupt the current plan from the sprint and require immediate attention from a developer.

2. Give the card `Type::Bug (Triage)` and an appropriate priority label.
3. Diagnosis and triaging discussion should happen on the GitLab issue, if it ends up being talked about in a private chat, make sure information is relayed onto the card.
