Many features should not run on certain types of pages

Description

Sometimes a category of features should not run on certain type of page, either because it is not functioning or it doesn't make sense.

Maybe this is brought up before, but let's create a new tracker for this type of issue. Due to the number of features we have, the issue isn't going to be solved in one PR or two, so feel free to include eligible features in existing or new PRs (and tag this issue).

Insufficient permission

• Archived repo: Skip some features on archived repositories #5355
• Actions that require you to be a collaborator (e.g. editing labels, locking conversations)
• Actions that require you to be able to change repo settings
• Locked conversations (comment-related features should not run)

Completely different

• 404 pages
• gist.github.com

I think this was mentioned in https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/pull/5143/files#r761667291

It is linked as gist.github.com above. This issue is about a broader topic.

Ehhh, I like the intent, but this kind of issue rarely lead to changes unless the interested party takes action.

In this case specifically, we already do address this wherever noticed or remembered (we have a few "exclude: isArchived") but the effort is better spent on actually broken features instead of spending time looking at every feature that might in some cases quietly do nothing.

#4779 would have been a good setup to avoid this issue, but for the same reason it was not implemented.
