Those are two different plugins. [Topic voting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-topic-voting/40121) is for voting on a topic. It’s the plugin used in the #Contribute > Feature category here on Meta. It’s connected to the new “idea” type for categories.  
The [post voting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-post-voting/227808) plugin allows you to vote on posts within the topic.
