They're currently shown at the very bottom of the page, under the list of tables and far away from the SQL query box: https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures

I'm also questioning if "Queries" is the best header for this. Other options:

  • Canned queries (what the feature is called in the documentation, but I don't think it's a great user-facing term)
  • Saved queries - overlaps with a mechanism by which queries can be saved by the user using a plugin such as datasette-saved-queries - though that plugin does itself use the canned queries plugin hook so not completely unrelated
  • Sample or Example queries - I don't like these much because they're more than just examples - they are often the core functionality of the specific customized Datasette instance
  • Prepared queries - overlaps with terminology used in other databases, so not great either
  • Pre-configured queries - urgh, don't like that language, feels clumsy
  • Query recipes - bit out of left-field this one, only really makes sense for queries that include named parameters for specific use-cases

Maybe "Queries" is right after all.
