## Author's checklist
2018-08-16 09:30:04 +00:00
- [ ] Follow the:
- [Documentation Guidelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/).
- [Style Guide](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/styleguide/).
- [ ] Ensure that the [product tier badge](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/styleguide/index.html#product-tier-badges) is added to topic's `h1`.
- [ ] [Request a review](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/code_review.html#dogfooding-the-reviewers-feature) based on the:
- The documentation page's [metadata](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/#metadata).
- The [associated Technical Writer](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/ux/technical-writing/#assignments).
If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
- `~"feature"`
- `~"frontend"`
- `~"backend"`
- `~"bug"`
- `~"database"`
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

## Review checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on [Documentation Guidelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/) and the [Style Guide](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/styleguide/).

- [ ] If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
- Technical writer review items:
- [ ] Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
- [ ] Ensure the appropriate [labels](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/ux/technical-writing/workflow/#labels) are added to this MR.
- If relevant to this MR, ensure [content topic type](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/structure.html) principles are in use, including:
- [ ] The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of `Default behavior`, say something like `Default behavior when you close an issue`.
- [ ] The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of `Configuring GDK`, say something like `Configure GDK`.
- [ ] Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
- If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the ~"docs-technical-debt" label.
- [ ] Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
- [ ] Ensure a release milestone is set.
