Add GitHub Issue Templates

Author: ajitzeroCreated Sep 20, 2025Updated Oct 25, 2025

Many dummy issues are being created, possibly by people unfamiliar with the GitHub interface. Using GitHub Issue Templates should help reduce these unintentional issues raised.

Reference on how to create issue templates: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository

I suggest adding the following custom templates:

  • New: Submit a new resource.
  • Bug: Fix a broken link or typo.
  • Other: Suggest general improvements.

Problematic issues so far:

  • #2 #3 #17 #19 #21 #22 #23 #24 #34
  • #4 appears to be feedback from users, but Issues is not the best place for that. Maybe we can consider enabling GitHub Discussions for this repo.
