I didn’t realise that each query can be PR’d, forked, etc etc. That is pretty cool, and I can see why you have done that. However, it is a confusing place for those who are less technically minded. All Discourse admins are familiar with Discourse, but only a proportion are familiar with GitHub.

What do you mean by classification? I could see tags working well for that side of things.

I believe that a dedicated sub-category of #Customization > Plugin would be best.

1. If we do go with one query per topic, there will be a lot of topics. @SidV has more than 70, and there are a lot more out there. This would polute / overwhelm #howto:tips-and-tricks significantly!
2. It would enable making every topic a Wiki, configuring go to first post, and having a suggested structure as a template
3. It would also mirror the configuration of the #Customization > Plugin category, which is just nice!
