Okay this one is going to be really short and sweet because while I really like the Special Use tab, it is effectively useless to players the way it was implemented and it makes me sad because it had a ton of potential.

The Special Use tab is essentially just the old 'Others' tab, the only thing left in the 'Others' tab at the moment is just craftables. I understand the distinction may have been made from a dev standpoint for better sorting, but the sorting is essentially useless to players because there's just so much junk in it. For example, there's the August thirst items in it, which literally only have a 'Special Use' one month out of the year, and are useless for the rest of the year. Other items are added to the 'Special Use' tab that really should have just stayed in 'Others', such as the energy items, the bundle items, Lucky Feet and Nesting Material (which can't even be used from the hoard, despite opening a menu to do so, meaning they have nothing in common with the other 'Special Use' items).
Since it's clear this tab is inspired by the Breeding Item suggestion that's been floating around since 2017, I would honestly want it to just be a Breeding Item tab, but if they're adamant on keeping it 'Special Use', I think that should be limited only to items that can be used on pride members rather than any item that has a special use case in the game or is used via the hoard that doesn't fall into food/decor/amusement. Obviously, Dove Feast can also be slapped in here as well, despite being used on kings rather than pride members, just because it's adjacent enough I think it fits.

I recognize this is a very, very, very small issue in the grand scheme of the site, but honestly it just really confuses me that they sorted it this way so I would like the sorting to make a bit more sense to your average user. Like I said earlier, this is likely one of those things that makes perfect sense to a dev, so I can see how it got added, but it doesn't change the fact it's not much of a QoL feature with it just being Other v2. If you no support, be sure to let me know why as it helps improve future suggestions, and if you do support, feel free to talk about any extra weird stuff you found with how the items are sorted in this tab lol.
