Yes, that topic got so many questions and responses that it became unreadable.
I think so. Does anyone have ideas about the best way to organize Data Explorer queries on this site? Ideally it would be possible to find existing queries by searching for a few keywords.
I’m open to changing the classification of the queries list on GitHub, maybe if we all think about a classification there, we can after debugging the categories well, go to something here in Meta (?).
각 쿼리를 PR하거나 포크하는 등 다양한 작업을 할 수 있다는 사실을 몰랐습니다. 꽤 멋진 기능이고, 그렇게 한 이유를 이해할 수 있습니다. 하지만 기술에 익숙하지 않은 사람들에게는 혼란을 줄 수 있는 곳입니다. 모든 Discourse 관리자는 Discourse에 익숙하지만, GitHub에 익숙한 사람은 일부에 불과합니다.
'분류(classification)'가 정확히 무엇을 의미하나요? 그 부분에는 태그가 잘 작동할 것 같습니다.
#customization:plugin의 전용 하위 카테고리(sub-category)가 가장 적절하다고 생각합니다.
쿼리당 하나의 주제 방식을 채택한다면, 주제가 매우 많이 생길 것입니다. @SidV만 70개 이상의 쿼리를 가지고 있고, 외부에는 훨씬 더 많은 쿼리가 존재합니다. 이는 #howto:tips-and-tricks 카테고리를 심각하게 오염시키거나 과부하를 걸게 될 것입니다!
모든 주제를 위키(Wiki)로 만들고, 첫 번째 게시물로 이동하도록 설정하며, 템플릿으로 권장 구조를 가질 수 있게 해줍니다.
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.
Expanding the queries natively available in Data Explorer would certainly be very helpful and accessible for a lot of admins/users.
However, I believe there also exists a need for ‘second tier’ queries, and a structured place to discuss them. I come to meta looking for a solution to a problem I have, not to donate clever queries per se.
Perhaps @sam’s and @Johani’s approaches could be combined? A subcategory with some topics/queries tagged as ‘official’ which are bundled with the plugin.
