A list or a way of searching all WA prompts

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently, the only way to see all the prompts is to access externally curated databases in google sheets. When searching for a prompt for a specific template, it is very hard to do with the "random" button. Similarly, even when not looking for something specific, the "random" button is random, which means you may see the same prompt three times, and a different prompt you'll never see until the 100th time you press that button.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Adding a way to filter or search prompts, or a WA list of every prompt would be a great way to help users looking for a bit of guided inspiration.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Whilst not its main reason for being, it would also help for people searching to read articles in a specific template (eg: reading an interesting species prompt and then reading the articles submitted to it).

    Oh yes, exactly! I wish there had been an alternative to the random button when I was picking prompts for my WorldEmber prep. I kept seeing the same prompts over and over again, and it was exhausting.

    I would love to be able to search through the prompts by template type. For example, it would help when searching for inspiration for a building (or any other template specific worldbuilding).

    I'd also like all past event prompts added to the general list, as not all of them are there--if you missed them during the event then there's no way to connect them to or read other responses.

    I would love to filter prompts based on template type. It really helps to get started with writing as it gives some guidance and inspiration, which is especially true for relatively "larger" templates such as ethnicity, and species for example.
