re: rule generation. The help doc states:

* * *

_New rule:_ `/discourse [watch|follow|mute] [category] [tag:name]`  
(you must specify a rule type and at least one category or tag)

- _watch_ – notify this channel for new topics and new replies
- _follow_ – notify this channel for new topics
- _mute_ – block notifications to this channel

* * *

The integration doesn’t seem to be able to find tags.  
_edit:_ Ugh.. I just saw the docs that the syntax for tags is _[tag:name]_ :facepalm: .. sorry I missed that…

I noticed that the help files are hard coded to the slash command “_/discourse_”.. I pulled down the source and got as far as finding the strings in the locale files and where they’re invoked in the helper. I would like to issue a PR to allow the slash command in help files to be configurable (my integration uses my sitename as the command…) but I’m not sure how persistence works with Discourse plugins. If I submitted a partially complete PR would you be able to provide some pointers or would that be a waste of time ?

Also, where would be the best place to add feature requests ?
