This is under discussion! Please look into the Mod-Header Discussion!
This is the try to introduce nicer, standardized, machine-readable and more useful mod-descriptions.
Please discuss this in the Mod-discussion board
The mod-description has two parts, a header and a body - exactly like Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
The header-names are not upper/lower-case-sensitive. A header can be only one line.
Between header and body there must be a blank line, like HTTP.
More can follow in the body, but that is not bounded to a form. Spoilers can/should be used to hide not not so interesting part.
Any heading here can be used...
Please press SELECT ALL, then copy/paste this:
This will look then like so:
