Lua code snippets are a niche interest and of no relevance to the majority of KB users.

They are currently accessible via Downloads/Plugins > Snippets which loads this page:

Do they warrant a place in the menu structure (where I suspect they aren't often found by new authors who don't know they exist); or would it make sense to include that page or a variant of it (with a little more preamble) under the KB topic/sub-topic Plugins/Writing Plugins, simplifying the menu structure for most users and perhaps making them more discoverable by plugin authors?

This sounds like a good idea to me.

Yes, that makes sense.

Having started to have a go at plugin writing, I did manage to find them, after looking at some existing ones as examples.

Suggestion seems very sensible.

Done. Just waiting for the crawler to verify I haven't broken any links.
