+To get approval for your feature request, please create an issue on the issue tracker with as much detail and context as possible. We'll take a look at it and then [hopefully] apply the "[approved for development](https://github.com/smashingboxes/OwlCarousel2/labels/approved%20for%20development)" tag so someone can get to work on it!
 
 ### Pull requests
 
 Good pull requests are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.
 
-**Going forward, we will only be accepting pull requests that are linked to an issue that is marked "[approved for development](https://github.com/smashingboxes/OwlCarousel2/labels/approved%20for%20development)."** If there is something you'd like to implement that isn't already approved (like a new feature, documentation updates, or some sort of refactoring), create an issue on the issue tracker! Only submitting pull requests for issues that have been approved helps us, the maintainers, get new code into the project quickly and helps prevent you from spending a lot of time on something that might never get merged into the project.
