Contributions for minor corrections and improvements without a corresponding `Help Wanted` ticket are welcome. For example, a pull request for a bug or incremental improvement, with less than 20 lines of code change, is usually accepted if the change to existing behaviour is minor.
All pull requests submitted without a corresponding ticket will first be reviewed by a core team product manager. Some examples of minor corrections and improvements include:
- [Fix a formatting error in help text](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/pull/5640)
- [Fix success typo in Makefile](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/pull/5809)
- [Fix broken Cancel button in Edit Webhooks screen](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/pull/5612)
- [Fix Android app crashing when saving user notification settings](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile/pull/364)
- [Fix recent mentions search not working](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/pull/5878)
**Note:** For pull requests greater than 20 lines of code, a `Help Wanted` ticket should be opened by the core team. This helps ensure that everything going into the project aligns with a unified vision. Core committers who review the PR are entitled to reject it if there isn't a `Help Wanted` ticket and feel it significantly changes behavior or user expectations.

The best way to discuss opening a `Help Wanted` ticket with the core team is by [starting a conversation in Contributors channel](https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/focalboard) or [opening an issue in the GitHub repository](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/new).
