Yeah, not sure what to do there, but one thing that is way more important first is to see all the top voted stuff in a list. Would sort that out first.

Makes sense. Are you thinking that would show active topics only or all?

I think only “open” topics cause closed ones really should be closed for voting and make less of a diff.

Plus if you wanted to see closed on that view, couldn’t you potentially use the querystring of `?status=closed` ?

I was debating the addition of votes as a way to sort and then you could use that as well as status as querystrings to get whatever you want.

This is #planned but it is going to require some amendments to the internal extensibility mechanisms.
Should be done in the next week or so.

This is now completed per:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-feature-voting/commit/bddea3ce7c5b177af408194832ce4b0086fd74e2](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-feature-voting/commit/bddea3ce7c5b177af408194832ce4b0086fd74e2)
Should be deployed on meta soon.
Caveat that is worth mentioning.
If you define a “top level” category to have “voting” and its “children” categories do not have voting, some of the advanced filtering (only category etc) can be a bit strange.
Current recommendation is only to enable voting on categories that have no children.
