+**Notes:**
+- This feature was introduced before [description templates](#overview) and is

+The visibility of issues and/or merge requests should be set to either "Everyone

+template text areas won't show. This is the default behavior so in most cases
+you should be fine.
+
+Go to your project's **Settings** and fill in the "Default description template

+for issues and merge requests respectively. Since GitLab issues and merge
+request support [Markdown](../markdown.md), you can use special markup like
+headings, lists, etc.
