         Sometimes it is helpful to submit, investigate, or track a bug against the Yocto Project itself
         such as when discovering an issue with some component of the build system that acts contrary 
         to the documentation or your expectations.  
-        You can find information 
-        for Bugzilla configuration and bug tracking procedures specific to the Yocto Project 
+        Following is the general procedure for submitting a new bug using the Yocto Project
+        Bugzilla.
+        You can find more information on defect management, bug tracking, and feature request
+        processes all accomplished through the Yocto Project Bugzilla on the wiki page

-                So, for example, a valid way to refer to a defect when creating a commit comment 
-                would be <filename>[YOCTO #1011]</filename>.   
-                This convention becomes important if you are submitting patches against the Yocto Project
