Discourse API doc is not what I’m requesting. I was thinking about something like [Chrome plugin development docs](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted) or [WordPress plugin development docs](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/intro/). For example when I read the [Beginner’s Guide to Creating Discourse Plugins](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-creating-discourse-plugins-part-1/30515/1), I have questions like _what are other special properties and callbacks does Discourse recognize in the default module?_ or _what parameters are passed into the `initialize()` method?_ Neither the guide nor [docs.discourse.org](http://docs.discourse.org) answered those questions.
