Community plugins

Plugin	Why
Templater	Date/title fill-in for the two starter templates
Dataview	Local queries over type, source, status (not rendered by Quartz)
Linter	YAML key order and tag consistency
Media Extended	Better YouTube/timestamp playback inside Obsidian
Advanced Canvas	Groups, presentation, nicer maps; Quartz still reads stock JSON Canvas

Install from Community Plugins using .obsidian/community-plugins.json.

Templater

Template folder: templates. Enable "Trigger Templater on new file creation" if you want folder templates later.

Linter (suggested)

• YAML: insert date as YYYY-MM-DD
• Deduplicate and sort tags
• Do not rewrite wikilinks to markdown links

Link settings

Already set in app.json: wikilinks, shortest path, update links on rename.
