-# Automatic issue closing
-
->**Notes:**
->
-> - This is the user docs. In order to change the default issue closing pattern,
-> follow the steps in the [administration docs].
-> - For performance reasons, automatic issue closing is disabled for the very
-> first push from an existing repository.
-
-When a commit or merge request resolves one or more issues, it is possible to
-automatically have these issues closed when the commit or merge request lands
-in the project's default branch.
-
-If a commit message or merge request description contains a sentence matching
-a certain regular expression, all issues referenced from the matched text will
-be closed. This happens when the commit is pushed to a project's
-[**default** branch](../repository/branches/index.md#default-branch), or when a
-commit or merge request is merged into it.
-
-## Default closing pattern value
-
-When not specified, the default issue closing pattern as shown below will be
-used:
-
-```bash
-((?:[Cc]los(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ff]ix(?:e[sd]|ing)?|[Rr]esolv(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ii]mplement(?:s|ed|ing)?)(:?) +(?:(?:issues? +)?%{issue_ref}(?:(?:, *| +and +)?)|([A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+-\d+))+)
-```
-
-Note that `%{issue_ref}` is a complex regular expression defined inside GitLab's
-source code that can match references to:
-
-- A local issue (`#123`).
-- A cross-project issue (`group/project#123`).
-- A link to an issue
- (`https://gitlab.example.com/group/project/issues/123`).
-
---
-
-This translates to the following keywords:
-
-- Close, Closes, Closed, Closing, close, closes, closed, closing
-- Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Fixing, fix, fixes, fixed, fixing
-- Resolve, Resolves, Resolved, Resolving, resolve, resolves, resolved, resolving
-- Implement, Implements, Implemented, Implementing, implement, implements, implemented, implementing
-
+redirect_to: 'managing_issues.md#closing-issues-automatically'

-For example the following commit message:
-
-```
-Awesome commit message
-
-Fix #20, Fixes #21 and Closes group/otherproject#22.
-This commit is also related to #17 and fixes #18, #19
-and https://gitlab.example.com/group/otherproject/issues/23.
-```
-
-will close `#18`, `#19`, `#20`, and `#21` in the project this commit is pushed
-to, as well as `#22` and `#23` in group/otherproject. `#17` won't be closed as
-it does not match the pattern. It works with multi-line commit messages as well
-as one-liners when used with `git commit -m`.

-## Directly
-
-Whenever you decide that's no longer need for that issue,
-close the issue using the close button:
-
-![close issue - button](img/button_close_issue.png)
-
-## Via Merge Request
-
-When a merge request resolves the discussion over an issue, you can
-make it close that issue(s) when merged.
-
-All you need is to use a [keyword](automatic_issue_closing.md)
-accompanying the issue number, add to the description of that MR.
-
-In this example, the keyword "closes" prefixing the issue number will create a relationship
-in such a way that the merge request will close the issue when merged.
-
-Mentioning various issues in the same line also works for this purpose:
-
-```md
-Closes #333, #444, #555 and #666
-```
-
-If the issue is in a different repository rather then the MR's,
-add the full URL for that issue(s):
-
-```md
-Closes #333, #444, and https://gitlab.com/<username>/<projectname>/issues/<xxx>
-```
-
-All the following keywords will produce the same behaviour:
-
-- Close, Closes, Closed, Closing, close, closes, closed, closing
-- Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Fixing, fix, fixes, fixed, fixing
-- Resolve, Resolves, Resolved, Resolving, resolve, resolves, resolved, resolving
-
-![merge request closing issue when merged](img/merge_request_closes_issue.png)

-If you use any other word before the issue number, the issue and the MR will
-link to each other, but the MR will NOT close the issue(s) when merged.
-
-![mention issues in MRs - closing and related](img/closing_and_related_issues.png)

-
-You can close an issue from [Issue Boards](../issue_board.md) by dragging an issue card
-from its list and dropping into **Closed**.

+# Managing Issues
+
+[GitLab Issues](index.md) are the fundamental medium for collaborating on ideas and
+planning work in GitLab. [Creating](#create-a-new-issue), [moving](#moving-issues),
+[closing](#closing-issues), and [deleting](#deleting-issues) are key actions that
+you can do with issues.
+
+## Create a new Issue
+
+When you create a new issue, you'll be prompted to fill in the [data and fields of the issue](issue_data_and_actions.md#parts-of-an-issue), as illustrated below.
+
+![New issue from the issues list](img/new_issue.png)
+
+### Accessing the new Issue form
+
+There are many ways to get to the new Issue form from within a project:
+
+- Navigate to your **Project's Dashboard** > **Issues** > **New Issue**:
+
+ ![New issue from the issue list view](img/new_issue_from_tracker_list.png)
+
+- From an **opened issue** in your project, click **New Issue** to create a new
+ issue in the same project:
+
+ ![New issue from an open issue](img/new_issue_from_open_issue.png)
+
+- From your **Project's Dashboard**, click the plus sign (**+**) to open a dropdown
+ menu with a few options. Select **New Issue** to create an issue in that project:
+
+ ![New issue from a project's dashboard](img/new_issue_from_projects_dashboard.png)
+
+- From an **Issue Board**, create a new issue by clicking on the plus sign (**+**) at the top of a list.
+ It opens a new issue for that project, pre-labeled with its respective list.
+
+ ![From the issue board](img/new_issue_from_issue_board.png)
+
+### New issue from the group-level Issue Tracker
+
+Go to the Group dashboard and click "Issues" in the sidebar to visit the Issue Tracker
+for all projects in your Group. Select the project you'd like to add an issue for
+using the dropdown button at the top-right of the page.
+
+![Select project to create issue](img/select_project_from_group_level_issue_tracker.png)
+
+We'll keep track of the project you selected most recently, and use it as the default
+for your next visit. This should save you a lot of time and clicks, if you mostly
+create issues for the same project.
+
+![Create issue from group-level issue tracker](img/create_issue_from_group_level_issue_tracker.png)
+
+### New issue via Service Desk **[PREMIUM]**
+
+Enable [Service Desk](../service_desk.md) for your project and offer email support.
+By doing so, when your customer sends a new email, a new issue can be created in
+the appropriate project and followed up from there.
+
+### New issue via email
+
+A link to **Email a new issue to this project** is displayed at the bottom of a project's
+**Issues List** page, if your GitLab instance has [incoming email](../../../administration/incoming_email.md)
+configured.
+
+![Bottom of a project issues page](img/new_issue_from_email.png)
+
+When you click this link, an email address is generated and displayed, which should be used
+by **you only**, to create issues in this project. You can save this address as a
+contact in your email client for easy acceess.
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+This is a private email address, generated just for you. **Keep it to yourself**,
+as anyone who knows it can create issues or merge requests as if they
+were you. If the address is compromised, or you'd like it to be regenerated for
+any reason, click **Email a new issue to this project** again and click the reset link.
+
+Sending an email to this address will create a new issue in your name for
+this project, where:
+
+- The email subject becomes the issue title.
+- The email body becomes the issue description.
+- [Markdown](../../markdown.md) and [quick actions](../quick_actions.md) are supported.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+In GitLab 11.7, we updated the format of the generated email address. However the
+older format is still supported, allowing existing aliases or contacts to continue working.
+
+### New issue via URL with prefilled fields
+
+You can link directly to the new issue page for a given project, with prefilled
+field values using query string parameters in a URL. This is useful for embedding
+a URL in an external HTML page, and also certain scenarios where you want the user to
+create an issue with certain fields prefilled.
+
+The title, description, and description template fields can be prefilled using
+this method. You cannot pre-fill both the description and description template fields
+in the same URL (since a description template also populates the description field).
+
+Follow these examples to form your new issue URL with prefilled fields.
+
+- For a new issue in the GitLab Community Edition project with a pre-filled title
+ and a pre-filled description, the URL would be `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/new?issue[title]=Validate%20new%20concept&issue[description]=Research%20idea`
+- For a new issue in the GitLab Community Edition project with a pre-filled title
+ and a pre-filled description template, the URL would be `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/new?issue[title]=Validate%20new%20concept&issuable_template=Research%20proposal`
+
+## Moving Issues
+
+Moving an issue will copy it to a new location (project), and close it in the old project,
+but it will not be deleted. There will also be a system note added to both issues
+indicating where it came from and went to.
+
+The "Move issue" button is at the bottom of the right-sidebar when viewing the issue.
+
+![move issue - button](img/sidebar_move_issue.png)
+
+### Moving Issues in Bulk
+
+If you have advanced technical skills you can also bulk move all the issues from one project to another in the rails console. The below script will move all the issues from one project to another that are not in status **closed**.
+
+To access rails console run `sudo gitlab-rails console` on the GitLab server and run the below script. Please be sure to change **project**, **admin_user** and **target_project** to your values. We do also recommend [creating a backup](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/raketasks/backup_restore.html#creating-a-backup-of-the-gitlab-system) before attempting any changes in the console.
+
+```ruby
+project = Project.find_by_full_path('full path of the project where issues are moved from')
+issues = project.issues
+admin_user = User.find_by_username('username of admin user') # make sure user has permissions to move the issues
+target_project = Project.find_by_full_path('full path of target project where issues moved to')
+
+issues.each do |issue|
+ if issue.state != "closed" && issue.moved_to.nil?
+ Issues::MoveService.new(project, admin_user).execute(issue, target_project)
+ else
+ puts "issue with id: #{issue.id} and title: #{issue.title} was not moved"
+ end
+end; nil
+```
+
+## Closing Issues
+
+When you decide that an issue is resolved, or no longer needed, you can close the issue
+using the close button:
+
+![close issue - button](img/button_close_issue.png)
+
+You can also close an issue from the [Issue Boards](../issue_board.md) by dragging an issue card
+from its list and dropping it into the **Closed** list.
+
+![close issue from the Issue Board](img/close_issue_from_board.gif)
+
+### Closing issues automatically
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+For performance reasons, automatic issue closing is disabled for the very first
+push from an existing repository.
+
+When a commit or merge request resolves one or more issues, it is possible to have
+these issues closed automatically when the commit or merge request reaches the project's
+default branch.
+
+If a commit message or merge request description contains text matching a [defined pattern](#default-closing-pattern),
+all issues referenced in the matched text will be closed. This happens when the commit
+is pushed to a project's [**default** branch](../repository/branches/index.md#default-branch),
+or when a commit or merge request is merged into it.
+
+For example, if `Closes #4, #6, Related to #5` is included in a Merge Request
+description, issues `#4` and `#6` will close automatically when the MR is merged, but not `#5`.
+Using `Related to` flags `#5` as a [related issue](related_issues.md),
+but it will not close automatically.
+
+![merge request closing issue when merged](img/merge_request_closes_issue.png)
+
+If the issue is in a different repository than the MR, add the full URL for the issue(s):
+
+```md
+Closes #4, #6, and https://gitlab.com/<username>/<projectname>/issues/<xxx>
+```
+
+#### Default closing pattern
+
+When not specified, the default issue closing pattern as shown below will be used:
+
+```bash
+((?:[Cc]los(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ff]ix(?:e[sd]|ing)?|[Rr]esolv(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ii]mplement(?:s|ed|ing)?)(:?) +(?:(?:issues? +)?%{issue_ref}(?:(?:, *| +and +)?)|([A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+-\d+))+)
+```
+
+This translates to the following keywords:
+
+- Close, Closes, Closed, Closing, close, closes, closed, closing
+- Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Fixing, fix, fixes, fixed, fixing
+- Resolve, Resolves, Resolved, Resolving, resolve, resolves, resolved, resolving
+- Implement, Implements, Implemented, Implementing, implement, implements, implemented, implementing
+
+Note that `%{issue_ref}` is a complex regular expression defined inside GitLab's
+source code that can match references to:
+
+- A local issue (`#123`).
+- A cross-project issue (`group/project#123`).
+- A link to an issue (`https://gitlab.example.com/group/project/issues/123`).
+
+For example the following commit message:
+
+```
+Awesome commit message
+
+Fix #20, Fixes #21 and Closes group/otherproject#22.
+This commit is also related to #17 and fixes #18, #19
+and https://gitlab.example.com/group/otherproject/issues/23.
+```
+
+will close `#18`, `#19`, `#20`, and `#21` in the project this commit is pushed to,
+as well as `#22` and `#23` in group/otherproject. `#17` won't be closed as it does
+not match the pattern. It works with multi-line commit messages as well as one-liners
+when used from the command line with `git commit -m`.
+
+#### Customizing the issue closing pattern **[CORE ONLY]**
+
+In order to change the default issue closing pattern, GitLab administrators must edit the
+[`gitlab.rb` or `gitlab.yml` file](../../../administration/issue_closing_pattern.md)
+of your installation.
+
+## Deleting Issues
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/2982) in GitLab 8.6
+
+Users with [project owner permission](../../permissions.md) can delete an issue by
+editing it and clicking on the delete button.
