No links on plugins pages?

I just don't understand. I spend like 30 minutes trying to find any link to download any plugin, but on the wiki page http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Category:Code::Blocks_Contrib_Plugins , there are no single link to download nor sources nor binaries, there also are no links on main CodeBlocks site. Of course I can find necessary plugin here, on forum. But that's just ... I don't know the right word, my english is bad.

I know I don't have any rights to demand anything from anybody, but that's just a shock for me: so well-documented in all other aspects project has nothing about downloading and installing plugins, and at the same time almost every plugin has its own page with description, screenshot, author... just no link to download.

All the plugins listed on the link you posted are part of the Normal Code::Blocks installation; either as core plugins or as contrib plugins.

I suggest installing Code::Blocks for your OS; please read the directions during install the Contrib plugins do NOT always install without the user selecting the correct option.

Please also post in the User Forums NOT the Developer ONLY Forums about installation or other basic Questions.

Oh crap, what a shame, I missclicked "Plugin development" thread is located just above "Help wanted"

God, its double fail: even "help wanted" isn't a proper place for this topic

Wiki says "The user-contributed plugins are not installed by default and offer extended functionality for Code::Blocks. The contrib plugins are maintained / developed by third-party developers."
Nothing about they "are part of the Normal Code::Blocks installation".

Should I add that to wiki?

If you think it will be clearer; feel free to add something like below. I have no Idea if Linux or Mac Installers include the Contrib Plug-ins.

So you might put something like the "Contrib Plugins are included with the Windows Installer; but, not installed by default"

Done !

The most distros (if not all) have extra packages that include the contrib-plugins, not one large package.

On debian (and ubuntu) they are not install by default, but listed in the dependencies as recommended packages. Depending on the settings for the package-manager, they might get installed automatically.
