> [!NOTE]
> If you used the legacy workflow to manually create an `issue_template.md` file in the `.github` folder and enable blank issues in your _config.yml_ file, the template in `issue_template.md` will be used when people choose to open a blank issue. If you disable blank issues, the template will never be used.

.github/issue_template.md does not work anymore

Reproduced on a new repository

I am guessing this is an intended feature deprecation because of the "legacy" wording
