Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

How It Works
The admin creates categories (e.g., “Books”, “Movies”, “Animals”) and uploads a 64x64px icon.
Each category contains words/phrases and optionally a short comment (e.g., “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” – Author: Larsson Stieg).
Players split into two teams and choose team names.
A random word or phrase is shown to one team while the others guess.
Each team has a set time (default: 90 seconds) to act out and guess the word.
Teams alternate turns; correct guesses earn points.
The team with the most points (or the fastest response time in a tie) wins!
