I’m a bit confused now. Surely this isn’t bigger meta-question, but I would love to save workload of staff here.

Why dedicated topic, not #Support (damn, I really should read description of categories) or #Contribute > Bug because there is dedicated tag indeed? What is the point to have a tag if publishing follow topic with same name?

I’m a bit curious because \[1\] someone make bad decision at some point and gave me ability to change some metas 😏

(And if Jitsi is official one why it is missing tag #official ?)

1. I have too much time because a customer is late; very rude but she is originally from Ireland so we have to understand 🤣

Where is the tag missing? The topic about the #Customization > Theme component is tagged as #official .

There is just one tag:

But if I must know only official ones get a tag, and #official is for another use then it is ok. I guess.

For #official plugins and theme components (and themes, eventually) you can create a dedicated topic in the proper category with the appropriate tag, or post in the topic itself. Both are fine. 👍 Though if you post your issue in the plugin/theme component topic you may find it gets to split off into a new topic to keep things organised and findable (it’s great for things like Related Topics, etc too).

I’ve updated a chunk of theme component topics with the info like the #official plugin ones already have, but I haven’t done all of them yet - and I’ve also been splitting the existing ones up too. As you can imagine, it’s a bit of a chore so it’s going to take me awhile to work through them all. 🙂

You should work for some software company that could code an assisted GPT for that use 😂

I think, or recon, I got the idea. Thanks.

The #official tag is only used on the main plugin/theme/theme component topic itself, not on the peripheral ones. So if you find a bug with #solved it would only get the #solved tag and not the #official one as well (it cuts down on the noise when you want to look at a list of all of our #official customisations).

I can fervently wish for this. 🙂 It is pretty slow-going a lot of the time, especially fitting it in to all the other things that need doing. Having a magic button that would do it all for me would be excellent. 🙂
