:...I think the title of this subsection points to one of the current problems - that users might type in "mod" or "mods" or "modding" to Search for a "How to" article, but NONE of those lead to it. When I created that green "M Category:Modding" template, I also created a redirect for the word [[mod]], since that's the word in the template, " <nowiki>{{mod}}</nowiki> ". (It made more sense to me than any other template name at the time, and fewer letters to type). | :...I think the title of this subsection points to one of the current problems - that users might type in "mod" or "mods" or "modding" to Search for a "How to" article, but NONE of those lead to it.

:Similarly (I'm guessing), when the user ([[User:Nate879|Nate879]]) later created this category (and Thanks to them for doing so!), they created a redirect for the word [[modding]] to more easily navigate back to this page, since the article name is " [[:category:modding]] " and that ''cannot'' be used as a link (it turns invisible unless typed as <nowiki>[[:category:modding]]</nowiki>, as any category tag does!) That may have made sense at the time, but it doesn't work for users now seeking information on "modding". | :Similarly (I'm guessing), when the user ([[User:Nate879|Nate879]]) later created this category (and Thanks to them for doing so!), they created a redirect for the word [[modding]] to more easily navigate back to this page, since the article name is " [[:category:modding]] " and that ''cannot'' be used as a link (it turns invisible unless typed as <nowiki>[[:category:modding]]</nowiki>, as any category tag does!)

− | :And that's what started the problem. When a user types in "mod", they get the template (wrong), so they then type in "modding" and find themselves here.
