List of full moderation tools?

So recently, I had been thinking for a while about starting a wiki here on meta for a basic explanation of things such as the moderation queue, and keeping track of basically anything helpful related to moderation, and try mentioning things that are part of Discourse’s philosophy along the way (to provide more context about how some features were designed to be used).

New howto articles geared at moderators would be very welcome. We were already contemplating a Moderator-specific howto-category, so in light of this initiative I’ll just put that up preemptively…, aaand done: #howto:moderators

As for posting drafts, that’s fine. Let’s just stick to a DRAFT: title convention when you’re posting for note-to-self or feedback.

Two months later, the Moderators category didn’t pick up any steam. We’ve decided to discontinue in in favour of simply tagging moderation-focused articles with moderation and putting them in the #howto:admins category.

I’m sorry this didn’t take off. I’d really like a Moderator Quick Start Guide with all the tools in one place, so I can have something that I can give to new Moderators…and something I can reference myself when my Team and I run into situations on our forum.
