</div>

I’ve noticed in my own Discourse installation that some weeks ago green checkmarks started to appear on the left of most of the entries on the upgrade page:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/6/162df8599b36e354254f1318d6ed000b48c0eb5b.png)

I did a search here and also tried to hover over the icons. Still, I don’t understand what they mean.

What makes me wonder is:

- The main Discourse entry never has a green check mark, no matter whether up-to-date or not.
- The other items always have a green check mark, no matter whether up-to-date or not.

**My question:**

What is the meaning of the green check marks on the upgrade page?

Those green checks mean that the plugin is an official plugin maintained by Discourse

Thanks. Maybe a mouse hover tooltip could be useful?

~~There should definitely be a tooltip there. Will add it.~~

Wait, it already [has a tooltip](https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager/blob/3d71276f26f2a2984afb7e51761553e6e7746de6/manager-client/app/templates/components/repo-status.hbs#L3)…

I couldn’t figure out what the check meant either. It would be more obvious if the glyph could be the discourse logo.

(and I didn’t notice the hover either)

I figured it was for official, but hovering over for a tooltip doesn’t work - ALT tags (if I recall correctly) only show up if the image is broken

Ok, it now has a title as well 😉

I just did an update and I’m not seeing a tooltip. When is Font Awesome going to add a Discourse icon?

Edit: I see them on the Plugin page. I was looking on the upgrade page.

(But I still find the check a confusing way to say “Official Discourse”.)

[That would be handy](https://fontawesome.com/icons/discourse?style=brands) 😉

Since the Nice People at Font Awesome went to all that trouble, could you change that mysterious ✅ into a calming, satisfying, and reassuring :discourse:?

That’s what I thought, and then I thought that since since I have :discourse: here that it could also be put on the plugins screen.

The way that I read [discourse/lib/plugin/metadata.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/plugin/metadata.rb) it looks like if someone forks an official plugin, or even has their own plugin with the same name, it’ll look _official_.

Am I right? Is this a problem?

You are.

It’s just an indicator.

People could easily write a plugin that would overwrite the [`official?`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/6bc0f9766876d27029bbc1da8692adf7a964261f/lib/plugin/metadata.rb#L71-L73) method to return `true`.
