I submitted a PR to Forem to add article pinning for organizations, and it has now been merged!
Organizations can now pin up to 5 posts, keeping ...

Oh nice! Thanks for the fix!
You're welcome, Thomas! Glad it's useful!
Congrats on getting it merged! There's something special about shipping a feature to the platform you use every day. Bringing org pages in line with the pinned posts personal profiles already have makes a lot of sense, especially for orgs whose best evergreen guides get buried under newer posts. Thanks for writing up the steps too, I'm sure plenty of org admins won't notice the new button without it.
Thanks, Aliza! That's exactly one of the things I had in mind when working on this. Some posts are still useful months or even years after they're published, and it felt a bit odd that orgs couldn't keep those posts easily accessible. Glad you found the steps useful too!
Five pinned posts is a good ceiling. Any more and the org page would just be a second feed.
Five is enough to keep the important stuff visible without overwhelming the page.
Thanks, Hanzla. Five keeps the choice simple, and anything past that starts to feel like scrolling a feed.
Proof that opening an upstream PR is still orders of magnitude faster than dying in a product backlog triage queue.
Sometimes it's just better to take the initiative and build what you want to see.
Proof you can stand for your wishes and win! Good job Hanzla! We root for you!
Thanks! Means a lot. I had been hoping to see this feature on DEV for a while, so I'm glad I got to help make it happen.
