Discourse plugins to consider

These all seem possibly nice but none seem super valuable:

[official plugin] topic-group-button (maybe try?)
checklist plugin (probably not, getting dated too)
We used to have spoiler-alert installed (assuming from commented-out list from when we troubleshooting). Do we actually care about having it? I’m doubtful, maybe little harm in having it available but unused though.
[official plugin] data-explorer offers some functioning for SQL access into the database, would we ever appreciate that?
[official plugin] saved-searches could be useful maybe
[official plugin] chars-required just shows the required chars instead of only having a notice when trying to submit without enough chars

Decided already:

~~GitHub - discourse/discourse-solved: Allow accepted answers on topics~~ (check, installed!)
~~GitHub - gnunicorn/discourse-plugin-pm-button: Add a private message button next to "Create Topic" in the main menu~~ (eh, out-of-date)
~~GitHub - gnunicorn/discourse-plugin-shared-edit: Allow authors to share the "edit" permission with other users.~~ (eh, out-of-date)
~~Question Answer Plugin - plugin - Discourse Meta~~ (probably not)
~~GitHub - discourse/discourse-canned-replies: Adds a means to insert templates from the composer.~~ (installed!)

Mods can already edit. You can allow everyone to edit by making a post a wiki (any post, replies included). So this only adds anything if you want to allow a specific group of non-moderators to edit.

Seems like overkill.

A post was merged into an existing topic: “respect” and “agree” instead of or addition to “like”?

I don’t really see the use of this. What would we make the button do?

I dunno, I guess maybe if we have an idea later, we may remember the plugin exists. Closing this topic now.
