Create a plugin template and docs for how to write a plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request for a plugin template and docs on writing a plugin. The how-to guide (docs/how-to/create_plugin.rst) was added in PR #928 and a documentation template (docs/how-to/document-plugin.rst) exists, so the core work appears done. Issue is 674 days old with no comments or labels.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue asks for a plugin template and docs for writing a plugin. Both have been delivered: docs/how-to/create_plugin.rst was added by PR #928 (commit 53eb1b33, 'doc: create new how-to on creating a plugin') and docs/how-to/document-plugin.rst provides a documentation template. The issue has had zero comments and no activity for over a year, and the requested work is already merged into the repository, making it no longer actionable.
