Yes they are there - but similar threads, such as the Viewer CSS 'recipes' are not there.
IMO if we post multiple tips and ensuing discussion in here we will fail to meet the OPs major issue:
That its hard to find things in the existing 'Tips and Tricks' threads (e.g. the Plugboard, template, and custom composite column recipes thread in Library Management) because there is no index, or if there is it is incomplete, and discussion on different tips often gets entangled.

I also think that ONLy tricks and tips should be permitted in it and perhaps an index of the items.
One of the problems I have with the other "tips and tricks: forums is that specific tips are buried in discussion about a tip which obscures the actual tip.
I would suggest an ordinary thread be started for each tip and after any discussion is ended the mods be asked to move the finalised tip to the sticky.

Suggestion - we ask the Admins to create a Tips and Tricks sub-forum with a set of prefixes. Pros: keeps everything in the Calibre Forum, one thread per tip, the sub-forum filter options would obviate the need for a separate index, search can be limited by prefix etc. Mods can move a thread into the T&T forum. Cons: need to define a set of prefixes.
Questions: a) what prefixes might we have, b) what to do with the existing 'tips and tricks' threads -- close them with a reference to the new T&T sub-forum, dissect them into separate threads in the T&T sub-forum
I should have thought of this sooner
