Plots2: Add a link to the Comment Templates page from the tagging menu

[first-timers[bot]]

Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

📋 Step by Step

• [ ] 🙋 Claim this issue: Comment below. If someone else has claimed it, ask if they've opened a pull request already and if they're stuck -- maybe you can help them solve a problem or move it along!

• [ ] 📝 Update the file app/views/tag/_advanced_tagging.html.erb in the plots2 repository (press the little pen Icon) and edit the line as shown below.

Open I guess ? and unclaimed too ? 😄

[jywarren]

Yes, but Harman, just wanted to point out that these are specifically for
people who haven't completed an issue already. Actually if someone shows up
to solve this one who is a newcomer, since you've done one already, would
you mind helping them solve it? That would be a great way to welcome
someone new into the community!

[aliklynnlyle]

@jywarren is there a way to show officially that I have claimed this issue?

[CoderJolly]

@aliklynnlyle By commenting below the issue, we can claim it....unless a moderator specially allots it

[aliklynnlyle]

OK, thanks, @CoderJolly. I didn't know if there is a way I need to show that it is claimed to report it to Outreachy?

[jywarren]

Ah, ok - no, i think you can just copy paste the URL into the Outreachy
page, there's a place to list contributions. Thanks!
