Suggestion for open discussion categories
<a href="/wiki/Project:Wiki#Open_discussion_discovery_improvements" title="Project:Wiki">Project:Wiki#Open_discussion_discovery_improvements</a>
I propose the following subcategories of <a href="/wiki/Category:Open_discussions" title="Category:Open discussions">Category:Open discussions</a>. I've created the categories and the templates; I just need approval to add more pages to them:
<tbody></tbody>| Category | Viewed by | Similar GitHub label | Template syntax (! should be a vertical bar)
|
|---|---|---|---|
| <a href="/wiki/Category:Open_discussions" title="Category:Open discussions">Open discussions</a> | Contributors | | |
| <a href="/wiki/Category:Good_first_discussions" title="Category:Good first discussions">Good first discussions</a> | New contributors | <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://docs.github.com/en/issues/using-labels-and-milestones-to-track-work/managing-labels#about-default-labels">good first issue</a> | Template:Talk!good first discussion
|
| <a href="/wiki/Category:Discussions_needing_help" title="Category:Discussions needing help">Discussions needing help</a> | Contributors | <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://docs.github.com/en/issues/using-labels-and-milestones-to-track-work/managing-labels#about-default-labels">help wanted</a> | Template:Talk!help wanted
|
| <a href="/wiki/Category:Discussions_on_hold" title="Category:Discussions on hold">Discussions on hold</a> | Template:Talk!waiting
| ||
| <a href="/wiki/Category:Solved_discussions" title="Category:Solved discussions">Solved discussions</a> | Admins | Template:Talk!solved

Contributors can prioritize new discussions (<a href="/wiki/Category:Open_discussions" title="Category:Open discussions">Open discussions</a>). These discussions should be fixed or moved to another category as soon as they are seen.
New editors have some easy work to do (<a href="/wiki/Category:Good_first_discussions" title="Category:Good first discussions">Good first discussions</a>).
Discussions waiting for admins (<a href="/wiki/Category:Solved_discussions" title="Category:Solved discussions">Solved discussions</a>) or replies from their authors (<a href="/wiki/Category:Discussions_on_hold" title="Category:Discussions on hold">Discussions on hold</a>) are kept separate from other discussions, reducing noise.
Open discussions will be more manageable considering <a href="/wiki/Category:Open_discussions" title="Category:Open discussions">Open discussions</a> is currently two and a half pages long.
