I have recently added the [BBCode plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-bbcode/65425) to our (self-hosted) Discourse instance. Today I checked the plugin list in the admin area and noticed that the [footnote](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-footnote/84533/76) and [spoiler alert](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-spoiler-alert/12650/115) plugins seem to have added automatically as a consequence of that.
However, my understanding was that both plugins have moved into Discourse core, so I was wondering if this is maybe a left-over dependency of the BBCode plugin that should have been removed or if it simply causes these parts of core to surface.
For the record: both do not show as part of the update screen.

Even though they are in core, they still show up as plugins. You just didn’t notice them there before you installed the other one.

Discourse chat was also merged with core and still shows in your plugin list. As Jay said this is normal.
Chat being merged messed me up as I had missed the announcement stating it was bundled with core and tried to install it. Not recommended but was easy fix as just removed it from my app.yml as the 2nd install caused site not to rebuild.

Ok, thanks! Then everything should be fine. I was just slightly worried that an outdated dependency might have caused the installation of plugin versions that are potentially older than what it is integrated in core.

Tip: you can recognize the integrated plugins since they all have an identical commit hash (in this case `eb70b3b`).
