I think most of the wiki content can copied from the C::B manual, see:
http://www.codeblocks.org/user-manual
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

I did some searching, and it seems (according to this post) that the Aligner plugin was merged into Editor Tweaks.  Unless somebody says otherwise, I will assume Aligner no longer exists and will remove it from the plugins list.

Thanks for the conformation; I will remove the link on the wiki-page.

Please don't remove the link, but make it point to the EditorTweaks, or put a message that the aligner has been merge to the EditorTweaks plugin.

While we are at it: I recall a OccurrencesHighlighter plugin. Was that merged into EditorTweaks (or the core... or somewhere else), too?

It's part of core (cbEditorInternalData).

No, it is not. Beside the OccurrenceHighlighting in cbEditorInternalData there is an additional OccurrencesHighlihter plugin:

That's what I meant! What is the difference? I would prefer to separate this functionality into a plugin generally (if possible) and remove it from the core. Would that be feasible?

The plugin does highlight on all open editors and has a list which words to highlight. The internal function is highlighting the selected text in the current editor.

The plugin is very simple (no configuration possible).

KeyMacs seems to be a 3rd Party Plugin, not a Contrib Plugin.  Could someone confirm this?  (If it 3rd Party, I will move the placement of its link.)

Is this plugin of enough importance for me to add a page for it on the wiki?

On further inspection, it appears to have become/merged into the Abbreviations plugin; is this correct?

No, these are two different plugins.

Keymacs allows for complex macros, including recording while abbreviations only accounts for a few (easy) macro replace operations, configured by hand.

Thanks.  (By the way, I moved KeyMacs to 3rd Party.)

Most of the plugins on the main plugins page are named "<PluginName> plugin" (whereas on the announcements page they are simply named "<PluginName>"), however, some do not follow this.
I am giving people a heads up that I plan to rename the plugins on the main plugins page that do not follow the precedent.  I also plan to rename the ThreadSearchManual page to "ThreadSearch plugin".

Done moving pages.

I think the SpellChecker plugin points towards SpellChecker; it will still get there through a redirect, but someone should probably change the internal link to SpellChecker plugin so it gets there directly.

In looking into writing a page for the TRACE32 Debugger plugin, "only" information I could find was posted here.  Does anyone know anything further?

I noticed the plugin Header Guard is included with the SVN source, but not built by default.  Should I add this as a Core/Contrib/3rd Party plugin?  If so, which category?

Header Guard added as 3rd Party.

Maybe a little bit out of topic here, but these 4 plugins are in the src\plugin dir, but not built:
Code
src\plugins\headerguard\
src\plugins\loghacker\
src\plugins\modpoller\
src\plugins\tidycmt\

Are they update? What do they do? Should they be removed, moved to contrib?

They build just fine for me, hence you've to manually select / open the project files.

1.) headerguard: Ensures you have a #ifndef H_FILE_INCLUDED #define H_FILE_INCLUDED #endif in each of your header files using a unique GUID
2.) loghacker: manipulate the loggers that have been created by several plugins / the core
3.) modpoller: polls for externally modified files in a certain interval (so C::b asks to re-load them if changed externally).
4.) tidycmt: formats comments of a certain style "nicely" when the file is saved

These are very specific and (if enabled by default) would most likely cause unexpected behaviour (imagine you are saving a file and it looks different afterwards). So these plugins are there for people who know how to use them and as tech-demo.

I had seen these before, but I could only figure out what Head Guard does. :)

These plugins are not exactly 3rd party (as I placed Header Guard), but nor are they core or contrib; is there another category I could place them in?

They actually really belong to the core, just they are disabled.

What's about Code Statistics plugin page?
There is no code, and no executable file(.cbplugin), no link to other place.
It's should be removed, or be reconstructed.
