         ## Important Notes
         ### Before submitting
-        Please check the open AND closed [Issues](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues) AND [Discussions](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions) to see if a similar request has been posted.
+        
+        Please check the **open AND closed** [Issues](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues) AND [Discussions](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions) to see if a similar request has been posted.
         It's likely we're already tracking it! If you’re unsure, start a discussion post first.
-        If your feature request might impact others in the community, consider opening a discussion instead and evaluate whether and how to implement it.
-        This will help us efficiently focus on improving the project.
 
+        #### Scope
+
+        If your feature request is likely to take more than a quick coding session to implement, test and verify, then open it in the **Ideas** section of the [Discussions](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions) instead.
+        **We will close and force move your feature request to the Ideas section, if we believe your feature request is not trivial/quick to implement.**
+        This is to ensure the issues tab is used only for issues, quickly addressable feature requests and tracking tickets by the maintainers.
+        Other feature requests belong in the **Ideas** section of the [Discussions](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions).
+        
+        If your feature request might impact others in the community, definitely open a discussion instead and evaluate whether and how to implement it.
+        
+        This will help us efficiently focus on improving the project.
