Description

I suggest a plugin/mod configuration tool, where Admins can specify the name of a plugin and a list of parameters to be provided to the plugin. There is no way for Administrators to configure plugins. Every incantation of a plugin must specify all needed information. A configuration tool would allow control over all invocations of a plugin, or specifying non-public configuration details.

I believe that at present adding configuration options for a plugin requires the plugin to include code for admin pages. This tool would be available for use with any plugin with chooses to look for the passed parameters.

For example, a SHOWIMAGE plugin's configuration parameters could specify the default (or mandatory) image source to use, the default image size, and decoration options. By altering the configuration parameters the appearance of all invocations would be changed.
