Finding your way around

The four pillars

The header and the sidebar are both organised around the same four:

Everything else — communities, collections, groups, articles, media, parties — hangs off those, and is reached from Explore, Community or Resources in the header.

Landing page, browser, item

Each pillar has the same three levels, and they are different pages on purpose:

1. The landing page (/mods) — an introduction with highlights.
2. The browser (/mods/browse) — the actual searchable, filterable list.
3. The item (/gmod/m/better-vehicles) — one thing’s own page.

If you are looking for something specific, go straight to the browser. The landing page is for people who do not yet know what they want.

URL shapes

These are worth knowing because they are short and stable:

/i/<kind>/<id> is the one to use from outside the site: it never breaks when an item is renamed, because it does not carry the name at all.

Renames do not break links

When an item’s URL slug changes, the old address keeps working: a redirect is written and the old link continues to resolve. That applies to edits made through the API as well as through the edit form, because both run the same code.

Languages

The site is served in nine languages. English lives on the bare path; every other language sits under its own prefix:

https://moddingcommunity.com/mods/browse
https://moddingcommunity.com/es/mods/browse
https://moddingcommunity.com/ja/mods/browse

The language picker in the header keeps you on the same page. Your choice is remembered across the main site, the landing pages and this documentation, since all three read the same preference.
