# req: Add notes to plugins

 * Since you mention on your site you appreciate suggestions, here’s mine:
 * My list of plugins is growing, and my website is getting older day by day. I 
   have several plugins of which I wonder why I’ve installed them in the first place.
   And IF I recall, I’m not sure where (on what page) I’m using it. And that’s even
   for the plugins I installed myself.
    Since I maintain a website with a team, 
   it would be very practical to be able to add a note next to every plugin. So 
   we all know why a plugin has been installed, and where we use it (for).
 * Perhaps a column could be added to [http://example.nl/wp-admin/plugins.php](http://example.nl/wp-admin/plugins.php)?

 * Hi Miels,
 * Thanks for the suggestion!
 * I really like the idea and I can definitly relate to to the scenario I can say
   😉
    Though it’d be a bit out of scope for the ‘dashboard’ note plugin..
 * Do you have any suggestions on how to incorporate that on the plugins page? I
   can’t think of a way where the type of notes as they currently are can be added…
 * I may check this out (tomorrow or so) to see what would be needed to create something(
   probably not in this plugin though).
 * Thanks,
    Jeroen Sormani

 * Hi Jeroen, “out of scope” was exactly what I was thinking, though it does serve
   about the same need. The comment on your page insprired me to request it anyway:).
   Glad I did. I do like my plugin page to be tidy, so thats 1 against a separate
   plugin for this request ;).
 * Regarding your question on how to incorporate it: I really don’t know what is
   possible with plugins. But like I said: it might be possible to add a column 
   on the plugins.php page? So at the right hand side of the columns “plugin” and“
   description” a new column “notes” (with an icon like the bootstrap glyphicon-
   edit to edit the text in it).

 * Hi Miels,
 * Gotcha! Not sure if adding a extra column is possible there, also would push 
   things a bit too much together don’t you think?
 * Maybe a row below it (full width) if possible?
 * I was thinking a code snippet myself more, but still not sure how much I’d take..(
   or when I would have time 😉
 * Cheers,
    Jeroen

 * I’d prefer something that is visually linked to the specific plugin.
 * Perhaps an icon (like bootstrap icon-notes) right of the name of the plugin?
    - hover over it: shows the note
    - clicking on it: edits the note
    - grey icon: no note added yet
    - black icon: has note.
 * I’ll leave the rest of it in your capable hands. But please make sure to let 
   me know (by a reply in this tread) if you’ve come up with something :D.

 * Thanks for the suggestions!
 * I’ll think about it and see if I can come up with something. I’m not making promises
   though 😉
 * Have a good day,
    Jeroen
