We are using our discourse also as a wiki for collaboratively sharing information. I would like to be able to publicly flag a topic as incomplete - a work in progress - so everyone can see the topics that need attention and contribute to them. Something akin to the wikipedia “stub”.

I wonder if others have already solved this problem or if there is a plugin to handle this use case. Otherwise the long handed route is to add a prefix to titles or a keyword in the body of the message that can be searched. Anyone have better ideas?
