Personally, I'd very much like such information in WPSE. Even though I'm fairly new to WPSE, my suggestion is:
Follow the Jetpack
route. Find a way to expand
or even cheat
the rules for the greater good.
For example: if you ask if plugin a
supports plugin b
on xyz
grounds, then many may vote it as off topic.
However, if you post 6 different questions, each with some examples saying that plugin a1
, (a2
, a3
etc.) doesn't follow xyz
WordPress standards (e.g. internationalization. localization etc.) and ask the community if anyone can provide a complete list of such violation of standards or an idea to compile such a list for customizing that plugin according to xyz
WP standards, then it may fall under WordPress development
or Plugin Development
topics.
You don't even need to mention about plugin a1
's support for plugin b
. As long as plugin b
follows WP standards, asking for those relevant WP standards should be enough.
Also, to avoid the too broad
topic trap, instead of asking for a complete list of issues under xyz
standards that plugin a1
doesn't follow, you may ask how to look for such violations of standards in plugin a1
. Then no one can complain if you yourself provide the complete research data as an answer (without asking for it in the question).
For example: there is a t1
theme in Github that doesn't follow WP theme repository standards. To get it approved in WP theme repo, you need to check it with the theme check
plugin, follow requirements set by Theme Review Handbook
etc. etc. - now if you can figure out the appropriate question for this answer, then I'm sure you can also figure out half a dozen appropriate questions for your own research data.
These are just examples, use your own imagination to make the questions on topic. You may be surprised by other answers the community comes up with over time (if you can ask the right question). As one of my Physics teachers in university always used to say:
being able to ask the right question is part of the answer.
Rant:
Any community that is not flexible enough will collapse. As this doc. clearly states:
We don’t run this site. The community does.
So this site will become whatever WPSE community
evolves into.
