 ==Relevant information==
-The developers usually don't need to know whole history of your character, who was your inspiration for it, the colour of your socks and the mood of your dog. Try to include only basic information in short form and check the topic later in case they will want to ask you some additional details.
+A [https://forum.nwnarelith.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=22680 Bug Report Template] can be found [https://forum.nwnarelith.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=22680 here].
-Information that are usually helpful:
-* '''Who?''' - Name of character and players' account
-* '''What?''' - Short description of the event and circumstances
-* '''When?''' - Today after reset of server or two months ago when server was 30 hours running and in heavy lag
-* '''Where?''' - Try to be concrete.
-** "Some transitions are bugged" is not helpful.
-** "Transition from Bramble Woods (Arcane Tower) to tower caused this" will be much better.
-* '''How often?''' - Did this happened for the first time or have you heard about similar cases already
