 SamwiseFilmore (Admin) (Fill My Mailbox) I did some tests about categories and topics for threads. Categories don't seem to work at all. Topics mostly work. You can add any page as topic of a thread, not just articles, but sometimes while editing the topics, all non-article topics disappeared.

I also learned that there are Topic pages that are generated for every discussed page (even non-article pages) and list all threads about that topic. For non-articles, these topic pages are slightly harder to access (as I found no links to them), but we can create these links on pages for the suggestions. That way we could use non-article pages (I'm not sure which namespace) as topics for suggestions.

Unfortunately the topic pages can't be edited. To be more precise, they can be edited, but their content is never displayed.

And, I see the question coming: Why not use articles for it? Articles have the problem that they pop up in the search function. They are an official part of the wiki. But suggestions are not part of the wiki, they are part of the forum.
