• The page is automatically tagged into [[Category:Tutorials]] and [[Category:Tutorials/Audio]] etc. via #arraymap (requires Extension:Arrays).
• After saving, the tutorial appears on the hub within seconds (Cargo job queue).
• A hidden div.tutorial-meta-data is added to the page for legacy JS compatibility. It has display:none and is not visible.
