### Discussions on {% data variables.product.product_name %}
You can create and participate in issues, pull requests, and team discussions, depending on the type of conversation you'd like to have.
Issues are useful for discussing specific details of a project such as bug reports and planned improvements. For more information, see "[About issues](/articles/about-issues)." Pull requests allow you to comment directly on proposed changes. For more information, see "[About pull requests](/articles/about-pull-requests)" and "[Commenting on a pull request](/articles/commenting-on-a-pull-request)."
{% data reusables.organizations.team-discussions-purpose %} For more information, see "[About team discussions](/organizations/collaborating-with-your-team/about-team-discussions)."
### Reacting to ideas in comments
You can show your support or dissent for an idea in a conversation. When you add a reaction to a comment or the body of a team discussion, issue, or pull request, people subscribed to the conversation won't receive a notification. For more information about subscriptions, see {% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.20" %}"[About notifications](/github/managing-subscriptions-and-notifications-on-github/about-notifications){% else %}"[Subscribing to and unsubscribing from notifications](/github/receiving-notifications-about-activity-on-github/subscribing-to-and-unsubscribing-from-notifications){% endif %}."

{% endtip %}
{% endif %}
### Following contribution guidelines
Before you open an issue or pull request, check to see if the repository has contributing guidelines. The *CONTRIBUTING.md* file includes information about how the repository maintainer would like you to contribute ideas to the project.
Similar to contributing guidelines, the repository maintainer may have included a template for information to include in an issue or pull request. Completing the prompts from the template may help you get a better response from maintainers.
