I propose moving all the helpful and efficient queries to one topic and closing it afterward.

This topic would be “the source of truth” for vetted queries.

We can then be a bit strict about the structure of entries that get added to that topic. Each entry would have a heading that describes it, a short blurb about what it does, and a mention to credit the author.

Once we do that, we can add a table of contents to that topic, and it would have a heading for each query.

To address Simon’s concern here.

The new version of the ToC component will have a real-time, in-post search bar that searches in the heading and the content of each section and looks like this.

(ignore the styles, for now, it’s still a WIP)

The new version will probably be production-ready around the end of the year.

As for the process of sharing/suggesting/requesting new queries, we can create a new topic for that. Good queries shared on that topic would then be added to the “the source of truth” topic that has the ToC.
