    $\begingroup$ We should start using these challenges as a time to improve the tag wiki for the highlighted topic. For example, mechanical-puzzles currently seems to suggest it only includes things like Rubik's cubes and sliding puzzles. I'm not familiar enough with the tag, but looking through the questions with the tag suggest some other types can also fit in. $\endgroup$
