# Contributing Guidelines
|
|
We welcome everyone to contribute towards the PlaceholderAPI Project, but doing so will require you to follow specific rules to keep a consistent and welcoming way of contributing.
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions about contributions towards the project, feel free to contact us on our [Discord Server][discord].
|
|
|
|
## Issues
|
|
Like any other project can you encounter bugs or a feature is missing for you in the plugin.
|
|
For that, you can open an [issue] to report a bug, or suggest a new feature to be added.
|
|
|
|
When doing so, make sure you follow rules below:
|
|
|
|
### Follow the template
|
|
We have issue templates to help us get the required information more easily. Please follow the provided template when either filing a bug report or feature request.
|
|
Your issue may be closed without warning for not following the template.
|
|
|
|
### Use the latest version
|
|
When it comes to bug reports should you always check first, that you're using the latest release of PlaceholderAPI.
|
|
Often the bug you've encountered, is fixed in a newer version.
|
|
|
|
The same rules apply when making a feature request.
|
|
|
|
### No duplicate issue
|
|
Make sure that there aren't any existing issues relating to the problem, which are still open, or are closed with a solution/explanation.
|
|
Opening a separate issue for a bug report or feature request, that already exists on the issue tracker only slows down the process of fixing the bug or implementing the feature.
|
|
|
|
If an issue with the bug or feature you want to report/suggest exists, comment on it with your info (bug reports) or give it a :thumbsup: (Feature Request) to show that this is important for you.
|
|
|
|
### Issue isn't caused by external source
|
|
PlaceholderAPI provides a feature to have expansions (separate jar files) for placeholders. This gives it a possability that an issue you encounter is caused by said expansions or a separate plugin that uses those expansions.
|
|
In those cases should you report the issue to the issue tracker of the expansion or plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Pull requests
|
|
As an open source project are we welcoming all contributions to improve PlaceholderAPI, being it changes to its code, or contributions to its documentation such as the [Wiki] or the Javadocs.
|
|
|
|
**When contributing, make sure to both base of and target the mentioned branch. Pull requests targeting the wrong branch may get closed without a warning.**
|
|
|
|
### Code contributions
|
|
> **Source and Target Branch:** [`master`][master]
|
|
|
|
When contributing towards the code of PlaceholderAPI, be it new features or just bug fixes, your changes should follow the general code styling used in the project.
|
|
You can find the necessary files in the [`config/style`][style] directory of this repository.
|
|
|
|
### Javadocs contributions
|
|
> **Source and Target Branch:** [`master`][master]*
|
|
|
|
Javadocs changes should usually be combined with [code contributions](#code-contributions) when possible, but if not, make sure the changes are significant enough to warrant a new build on our CI server.
|
|
|
|
\*This branch may change in the future.
|
|
|
|
### Wiki contributions
|
|
> **Source and Target Branch:** [`docs/wiki`][docs-wiki]
|
|
|
|
The Wiki of PlaceholderAPI has a unique quirk by having a dedicated [`wiki` folder][wiki] hosting the pages found on the actual wiki itself.
|
|
If you find outdated information, want to add missing expansions/plugins or just like to correct some wrong spelling should you both base of and target your contributions on the `docs/wiki` branch.
|
|
|
|
**Please only PR changes for the `wiki` folder on the `docs/wiki` branch! Pull requests not following this guidelines will be closed unnanounced.**
