Hi Stephen,

We’re building a directory where developers can list their plugins/themes for ClassicPress (fork of WordPress). What I would like to do is have each plugin/theme have a dedicated “space” in the forum, so any topics assigned to that plugin/theme can be easily found with a direct link. Just like a tag page.

WordPress does it on their forums with dedicated sub-forums for plugins. For example:  
[https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-emojis/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-emojis/)

The tag does serve this purpose, but I don’t know how scalable a tag group can be if we have hundreds/thousands of tags inside it. How well would the tag search work with thousands of tags?

Thank you!

EDIT: Another example is Discourse official plugins here, for example:
