        Welcome to Nixpkgs. Please replace the **`Missing Documentation: PACKAGENAME`** template above with the correct package name (As seen in the [NixOS Package Search](https://search.nixos.org/packages)) or module name (As seen in the [NixOS Option Search](https://search.nixos.org/options)).

        > [!TIP]
        > For instance, if you were filing an issue against the [`hello`](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=1&buckets=%7B%22package_attr_set%22%3A%5B%22No%20package%20set%22%5D%2C%22package_license_set%22%3A%5B%22GNU%20General%20Public%20License%20v3.0%20or%20later%22%5D%2C%22package_maintainers_set%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22package_platforms%22%3A%5B%5D%7D&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=hello) package about it not having any NixOS-specific documentation, your title would be as follows:
        > ```
        > Missing Documentation: hello
        > ```
