+title: "Marking issues as regressions"
+description: "Now anyone can mark issues as regressions!"
+author: Camelid
+team: the release team <https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/operations#release>
+---
+
+The Rust project gets many issues filed every day, and we need to keep track
+of them all to make sure we don't miss anything. To do that we use GitHub's
+issue labels feature, and we need your help to make sure we fix regressions
+as soon as possible!
+
+We have many issue labels that help us organize our issues, and we have a few
+in particular that mark an issue as a regression. These labels will ping a Rust
+working group called the [*prioritization working group*][wg-prioritization],
+whose members will work to determine the severity of an issue and then
+prioritize it. But, this won't happen unless someone marks the issue with one
+of those labels!
+
+We recently had a case where a [regression was not caught][internals-thread]
+before a release because the issue was not marked with a regression label.
+So we have now [added the ability][regression-label-pr] for *anyone* to set
+regression labels on issues! This is all you have to do to mark an issue as a
+regression and it will automatically ping people to prioritize it:
+
+> **@rustbot** modify labels: regression-untriaged
+
+Alternatively, if you are reporting a new regression, you can use the regression
+[issue template]. It will guide you through the process of reporting a
+regression and providing information that will help us fix the issue.
+
+Finally, if you have an issue that is *not* a regression, but is still something
+that is important to be fixed, you can request prioritization with:
+
+> **@rustbot** prioritize
+
+We really appreciate it if you mark all regressions with an appropriate label
+so we can track them and fix them as soon as possible!
