I want to make a place for the “praised” / “verified” / “good to see” topics. My idea: Let the moderators set the tag for topics, and there will be a button to see those topics quickly (like Latest or Top button) The problem: I can only set the minimal trust level to tag topics but can’t set the preserved tags Any idea will be appreciated.

Maybe try pinning the topics since that will bring it to the top.

I think a mockup would be helpful, but here’s a guide that might be of interest: https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-a-featured-topic-list-to-your-discourse-homepage/132949?u=merefield There’s also a featured carousel of images in Topic List Previews which includes topics if you tag them with the set tag. On tag visibility look at this: [image] Is there a way to create a tag visible to mods only? Support I’d like to create hidden collections of topics for internal use, then run queries in data explorer with using these collections. For this to happen, I’ll need internal use only tags, which are not visible to the public. Is it possible in Discourse?

twofoursixeight: Maybe try pinning the topics since that will bring it to the top. In my community’s traditions, it’s popular that the moderators mark the topic with recommended. I think it’s a good method for increasing the visibility of high quality topic, community interactions and motivations. Pinning the topic on top is another method to make the similar effects I’m using. The difference is pinning is better for visibility but lack for community interactions and permnant recordings. It’s an honor to write a topic which is pinned or recommanded, but the pinning is not officially memorable which people want. This is why I usually pin the official notifications only. Anyway thanks for your advice. [image] Robert: I think a mockup would be helpful Can you explain the meaning of “mockup” for me? I’m not a English native speaker or a experienced discourse user.

Thank you! This is exactly what I want

Wouldn’t docs do same thing but offering filtering too?

I implement my use case by creating a tag group in the /tags page and add a button by Custom Top Navigation Links above. Thanks for all of you! [image] Jakke Flemming: Wouldn’t docs do same thing but offering filtering too? I didn’t know that feature before. It seems like a library page of all site contents? It’s very cool

[image] H4M5TER: like a library page of all site contents Not all. Just for some — you can use a tag/tags or category/categories. I used it for blogtype topic starters indentied by tag blog.
