Start with a mod description. This should be a general overview of what the mod is and maybe what
sets it apart from other mods in its genre. This is broad information and can include what the mod
is now as well as what is intended for the future.

Screenshots, movies, whatever. We are almost requiring media for a mod to be listed- it's not a
steadfast rule, but it's a good idea of when to decide to make your mod's page.

A brief history of the mod.  How long has it been around, what kind of changes has it gone through,
what problems had to be overcome.  You know.  Whatever. If you want it.
