-* [ ] This is an actual bug, not just a setup issue (see the [troubleshooting docs](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/troubleshooting.html) or ask in the Matrix room for setup help).
-* [ ] I am certain that sufficient information is included. Ask in the Matrix room first if not.
-* [ ] The bug is still present on the main branch. The `!wa version` command output is: ``
+It's always best to ask in the Matrix room first, especially if you aren't sure
