# Objective
- I've worked on the migration guide in the past, so I've written down
some of the conventions and styles I've used.
## Solution
Please read through the descriptions of each commit, which justify the
change! In summary:
- Remove headings from migration guide template by moving style guide to
`migration_guides.md`
- Use parentheses to signal method and function names (`my_func()`
instead of `my_func`)
- Change the guidelines on using bullet points so they're not used for
every single migration guide.
- Remove suggestion to use diff blocks, as they don't syntax-highlight
Rust code.

# Objective
Relocations are a fairly common form of migration, and a tabular format
can make reading an otherwise repetitive list much easier. This should
be included in the migration guide template.
## Solution
- Added a dot-point highlighting a tabular format for relocations, with
an explanation.
- Added a dot-point indicating migrations should be written WRT the
currently published version of a crate.
- Fixed some formatting in an adjacent dot-point.
## Testing
- CI
# Objective
Both reading and writing migration guides is easier when the language is
standardized.
However, migration guide authors don't have clear guidelines for the
tone and phrasing to use.
## Solution
Communicate this information to authors by creating stub text with a
clear and polite standard style.
We could instead write a style guide, but turning style guides into a
writing style is slower and much harder than simply filling in the
blanks. While style guides are a good fit for more free-form writing,
they don't work well for the very mechanical and dry migration guides.

# Objective
This PR begins integrating the new releate-content drafting process
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18427) into our GitHub
workflows. It's similar to what we had before: Messages are posted to
PRs tagged with `M-Needs-Release-Note` or `M-Needs-Migration-Guide`
asking them to add the required material and linking to the
instructions. These messages do not trigger if the PR already has
modified files in the `release-notes` or `migration-guides` directories
(respectively).
I have also re-arranged and content slightly (to remove the need for a
directory with the current version number), tweaked the language, and
switched the templates to use the [standard markdown frontmatter
format](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/).
## Reviewer Questions
+ Do we want to add a CI rule actually requiring tagged PRs to
create/modify files in the correct directories, or is the message prompt
enough?
+ Do we want to add a CI rule to lint the metadata, for example to
enforce that the PR number is included in the files it modifies?
