What is the best way to refer to a bug in Bugzilla?

The best way to refer to a bug is “bug #nnnnn”, where nnnnn is the bug number. Using “bug” before the number allows Bugzilla to link to the corresponding bug report automatically. Using “#” before the number is optional for Bugzilla but makes it easier to locate references to bug reports in the ChangeLog or in e-mails. When referencing multiple bugs, it is better to be a bit redundant by writing “bug #xxxxx, bug #yyyyy and bug #zzzzz” instead of “bugs #xxxxx, #yyyyy and #zzzzz” in order to allow Bugzilla to link all bugs automatically.
