Biggest opportunity: Swap “ajax” for “mihdan”. “ajax” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mihdan” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 325.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 6.8.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

WP 5.0.1 everything works fine! Comments do not delete, edit as necessary.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ cherryaustin10.1y ago
After the most recent WP update this beautiful & much-appreciated plugin started deleting comments instead of saving edits. Very sad – I’ll miss it! I’m switching to the author’s “simple” version. This topic was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by cherryaustin. Reason: WP 4.9 update

The ability for users to edit their comments is a feature sadly lacking in WordPress, so this is very welcome. Works great on my multisite, too!

The plugin has the exact capabilities I was looking for, but for various reasons my site is better served by the stripped-down version, Simple Comment Editing. Still, I was glad to find this plugin.
