Would someone tell me which categories here on Meta are docs? I assumed it were #Documentation and #Wiki with their subcategories, but it seems #Contribute > UX is documentation too. Topics in #Contribute > UX are bumped when the first post is edited. This feels quite unexpected and confusing. I can also find topics when I search for “in:docs #Contribute > UX” or “in:docs #Development”. So are #Contribute > UX and #Development documentation too? Maybe it will be easier to understand why topics bump once I understand which categories are docs.

By the way, additional doc categories also mean that “in:docs” no longer works to search exclusively in the documentation.

Hmm well spotted, Moin! I looked at the category settings for #Contribute > UX and #Development and indeed there is an index top specified for those categories. I’ve removed those for now and will check with my colleagues to see if I can find out what happened there and when.

All I can say is that it was already like that on the 8th of November.

Can someone take a look at this again? Today searching for `in:docs` returns lots of topics from #Support. I don’t think I noticed #Support in the results 3 weeks ago.
