+# Description templates
+
+>[Introduced][ce-4981] in GitLab 8.11.
+
+Description templates allow you to define context-specific templates for issue
+and merge request description fields for your project.
+
+## Overview
+
+By using the description templates, users that create a new issue or merge
+request can select a description template to help them communicate with other
+contributors effectively.
+
+Every GitLab project can define its own set of description templates as they
+are added to the root directory of a GitLab project's repository.
+
+Description templates must be written in [Markdown](../markdown.md) and stored
+in your project's repository under a directory named `.gitlab`. Only the
+templates of the default branch will be taken into account.
+
+## Creating issue templates
+
+Create a new Markdown (`.md`) file inside the `.gitlab/issue_templates/`
+directory in your repository. Commit and push to your default branch.
+
+## Creating merge request templates
+
+Similarly to issue templates, create a new Markdown (`.md`) file inside the
+`.gitlab/merge_request_templates/` directory in your repository. Commit and
+push to your default branch.
+
+## Using the templates
+
+Let's take for example that you've created the file `.gitlab/issue_templates/Bug.md`.
+This will enable the `Bug` dropdown option when creating or editing issues. When
+`Bug` is selected, the content from the `Bug.md` template file will be copied
+to the issue description field. The 'Reset template' button will discard any
+changes you made after picking the template and return it to its initial status.
