Danny White c721e8fa8f chore(studio): rename SQL Editor sidebar items (#46241)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Chore. Rename / UX copy update in Studio's SQL Editor.

## What is the current behavior?

The SQL Editor sidebar has a **Community** section containing two pages:
- **Templates**: reusable SQL snippets for common tasks
- **Quickstarts**: end-to-end examples and starter projects

The section label "Community" is misleading because these are
first-party presets maintained by the Supabase team, not
user-contributed content. "Quickstarts" also doesn't clearly convey
"end-to-end example".

## What is the new behavior?

- **Community** → **Reference** (sidebar section header)
- **Quickstarts** → **Examples** (route: `/sql/quickstarts` →
`/sql/examples`)
- Templates keeps its name and route (`/sql/templates`), description
updated to "Reusable SQL snippets for common tasks"

Taxonomy: 
- **Templates** = reusable SQL patterns you adapt
- **Examples** = end-to-end walkthroughs you run as-is

A permanent redirect is added so `/sql/quickstarts` gracefully forwards
to `/sql/examples`. The existing `/sql/templates` route is unchanged.

## Additional context

- `CommunitySnippetsSection.tsx`: header label + route keys updated; the
underlying `community` localStorage key is intentionally unchanged to
avoid resetting stored collapsed/expanded state for existing users.
- ESLint rule baselines and a docs troubleshooting link updated to
reflect the new filenames/routes.

Reference Docs

Supabase Reference Docs

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

Versioning

All tools have versioned docs, which are kept in separate folders. For example, the CLI has the following folders and files:

  • cli: the "next" release.
  • cli_spec: contains the DocSpec for the "next" release (see below).
  • cli_versioned_docs: a version of the documentation for every release (including the most current version).
  • cli_versioned_sidebars: a version of the sidebar for every release (including the most current version).

When you release a new version of a tool, you should also release a new version of the docs. You can do this via the command line. For example, if you just released the CLI version 1.0.1:

npm run cli:version 1.0.1

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
