+
 We have two kinds of releases: patch releases, which happen every few weeks, and feature releases, which happen once a quarter. If your fix is a bug fix, it will be released in the next patch release after it is merged to master. If your release is a new plugin or other feature, it will be released in the next quarterly release after it is merged to master. Quarterly releases are on the third Wednesday of March, June, September, and December.
 
-#### Contributing an External Plugin
+## Contributing an External Plugin
 
 Input, output, and processor plugins written for internal Telegraf can be run as externally-compiled plugins through the [Execd Input](/plugins/inputs/execd), [Execd Output](/plugins/outputs/execd), and [Execd Processor](/plugins/processors/execd) Plugins without having to change the plugin code.
 
 Follow the guidelines of how to integrate your plugin with the [Execd Go Shim](/plugins/common/shim) to easily compile it as a separate app and run it with the respective `execd` plugin.
 Check out our [guidelines](/docs/EXTERNAL_PLUGINS.md#external-plugin-guidelines) on how to build and set up your external plugins to run with `execd`.
