......@@ -4,14 +4,12 @@ GitLab has a great issue tracker but you can also use an external one such as
Jira, Redmine, or Bugzilla. Issue trackers are configurable per GitLab project and allow
you to do the following:
- the **Issues** link on the GitLab project pages takes you to the appropriate

external tracker
- you can reference these external issues inside GitLab interface
(merge requests, commits, comments) and they will be automatically converted
into links

Issues in Bugzilla can be referenced in two alternative ways:

1. `#<ID>` where `<ID>` is a number (example `#143`).
2. `<PROJECT>-<ID>` where `<PROJECT>` starts with a capital letter which is
then followed by capital letters, numbers or underscores, and `<ID>` is
a number (example `API_32-143`).
We suggest using the longer format if you have both internal and external issue trackers enabled. If you use the shorter format and an issue with the same ID exists in the internal issue tracker the internal issue will be linked.
Please note that `<PROJECT>` part is ignored and links always point to the
address specified in `issues_url`.
