+## Issues and labels
+
+Our bug tracker utilizes several labels to help organize and identify issues. Here's what they represent and how we use them:
+
+- `browser bug` - Issues that are reported to us, but actually are the result of a browser-specific bug. These are diagnosed with reduced test cases and result in a issue opened on that browser's own bug tracker.
+- `confirmed` - Issues that have been confirmed with a reduced test case and idenfity a bug in Bootstrap.
+- `css` - Issues stemming from our compiled CSS or source Less files.
+- `customizer` - Issues with our web-based Customizer.
+- `docs` - Issues for improving or updating our documentation.
+- `examples` - Issues involving the example templates included in our docs.
+- `feature` - Issues asking for a new feature to be added, or an existing one to be extended or modified. New features require a minor version bump (e.g., `v3.0.0` to `v3.1.0`).
+- `grunt` - Issues with our included JavaScript-based Gruntfile, which is used to run all our tests, concatenate and compile source files, and more.
+- `help wanted` - Issues we need or would love help from the community to resolve.
+- `js` - Issues stemming from our compiled or source JavaScript files.
+- `meta` - Issues with the project itself or our GitHub repository.
+
+For a complete look at our labels, see the [project labels page](/twbs/bootstrap/labels).
