 A minimal reproduction is a repository with the _least_ amount of code and config that still triggers missing or wrong behavior.
 
+### Example of a perfect reproduction
+
+The [`renovate-reproductions/12260` repository](https://github.com/renovate-reproductions/12260) shows a perfect reproduction, because it:

+- Only has the files/config needed to trigger the bug
+- Explains the current behavior and the expected behavior in the `readme.md`
+- Links to the Renovate Issue, or Discussion in the `readme.md`
+- Uses headings to organize information
