Discussions: Add a number and allow pinned DnD

Question

Body

In most repos, you don't view Discussions pages, because there is no number showing, if there is any discussions at all. Could you add a number - just like in Issues and Pull Requests - next to Discussions? And if so, the same could go for Wiki section, now you don't know if there is any Wiki pages at all for repo.

Second thing: You have a handle to reorganize pinned issues in Issue view, but no handle to organize pinned discussions in Discussion view. Could we have that?

Thank you for these usability suggestions for GitHub's repository navigation. Let me break down your requests to ensure I understand them correctly: Discussion & Wiki Count Indicators Add a numeric counter next to "Discussions" tab (like Issues/PRs have) Add a similar counter for Wiki pages Current problem: No visual indication if content exists without clicking Suggested: Discussions (5) similar to how Issues (10) appears

Yes.

Pinned Discussions Reordering Currently missing drag handles for pinned discussions Issues view already has this functionality Request: Add the same drag-to-reorder functionality for pinned discussions

Yes.

These both seem like valuable improvements for repository discoverability and management. A few questions to help elaborate on the requirements: For the Wiki counter, would you expect it to show: Total number of pages? Or just indicate if a Wiki exists (like a simple dot or icon)?

I would expect to see total number of pages. That would tell the activity on those pages, that is, how much valuable information I would expect to find from there.

For pinned discussions reordering, would you want: Identical behavior to Issues? Or any additional sorting/organization features specific to Discussions?

Identical to Issues would be good.
