Describe the proposal

A dedicated product category has been created for the official Arduino Nano ESP32 board:

https://forum.arduino.cc/c/hardware/nano-family/nano-esp32/190

We are seeing an inappropriate use pattern of people using that category for topics about other ESP32-based boards.

This can cause confusion because it may lead the helpers to operate under the reasonable assumption that the user is using specific hardware and firmware dependencies.

There are some distinct characteristics of the Nano ESP32 compared to other ESP32-based boards, including:

  • Use of the ESP32-S3 microcontroller (vs. the original ESP32, ESP32-C3, ESP32-S2 microcontrollers used on other boards)
  • Board design
  • Dedicated "Arduino ESP32 Boards" platform
  • Unique core variant pin mapping approach

The documentation of the forum category should clearly communicate that it must only be used for topics specific to the Nano ESP32 board.

The obvious approach is adjusting the wording of the "About the Nano ESP32 category" post:

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/about-the-nano-esp32-category/1151125/1

If that is not sufficient, an additional pinned notice topic could be added, similar to (but not so strident as) the one used in the "Uncategorized" category:

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/do-not-create-topics-in-this-category/1111650

That sort of notice was also used previously in the "Tutorials" category before they were made superfluous by the reconfiguration of the category (#338).
