https://meta.discourse.org/t/links-category-for-discourse/43532 Links category is going to be a core feature. Links category offers the ability to post a link instead of text as well as displaying the link in the topic list. I’ll work together with the team for all its features. All features shall …

@team I think Erick is blocked on this without any feedback since he needs to know whether archetypes is the way to go or not before doing any significant work.

If archetype is an expensive way to go, I can still merge the plugin in the core with the same implementation. It could be a bit messy in code. But I can improve later.

Adding an archetype construct is going to be a massive amount of work, I am not sure I am keen to take on that work right now. Instead lets just extend plugin api to support what we need here if bits are missing cc @eviltrout

This should actually be merged into core, I don’t think this should be a plugin at all. Sharing a link and inviting discussion on that link is an essential feature for all Discourse instances. We’ll need to allocate someone for this work in the next few weeks.

Should this be by category as it is today, or by topic as Reddit and HN?

Probably by topic. I don’t think a whole category is needed. Some topics will be link based, others won’t.

Also (sorry for being so specific) are we keeping the like OP on topic list? And only for link-type topics?
