Consider the following Bugzilla best practices and guidelines when contributing to the Knowledge Base Content queue within support.mozilla.org.

Best practices

• Add a comment within the Bugzilla ticket if you’d like to contribute and indicate the level of contribution (detailed below) you’d like to provide, using the “needinfo?” flag to ensure the assigned staff technical writer is notified.
• Collaborate with the staff technical writer assigned to the ticket to determine next steps.
• Add any updates or additional information to the Bugzilla ticket if there is communication with key stakeholders outside of the Bugzilla ticket (for example, in Matrix, Slack, direct message within SUMO email, etc).
• Follow Mozilla Support (SUMO) article review guidelines.
• When the request is complete (for example, content is updated, published, and approved), please share links to the updated content in the Bugzilla ticket and mark it as Resolved.
