How to post new modules? It’s simple enough to edit an existing wiki page, but it’s not clear how to make a new one.
What I’m really curious about is how to attach the correct templates to a module page, so it’s in the same format as the others.
Is there an explanation of this process somewhere? Or is there a templatized module page where we can just fill in the required data?

Now how does a new module page get added to the list of modules? Does this happen automatically somehow, or is it necessary to edit the list?

It happens automatically. See the last sentence of “The Module Information
Box” subsection of the “How to Create a Module Page” page.

It might be nice to have a Change Log section on module pages. I added one for myself on the TTA page (hope that’s okay). Or there should be somewhere where you can see what got fixed/changed in recent version updates.
From the documentation, I thought it would be automatic. But I created a page for an Imperium module and it still hasn’t shown on the modules list. Any idea why not?

Give us the URL for the module page so we can take a look.

It was merged and redirected. Imperium module page already existed

The URL was vassalengine.org/wiki/Module … _%28GDW%29
Interesting, they were merged and my new one is shown as version 2.0. But the notes at the bottom describe the other one.Did the merge happen automagically?
But they’re really two distinct modules. Is it possible to list two different modules for the same game on separate pages?

We were in a state of indecision about whether the pages should be per
module or per game. I’m leaning toward having a Wikipedia-style
diasmbiguation page for games covered by more than one module. This will
be cleared up soon.
(Note to Tim: I’m thinking about how best to do this…)

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I was talking about the Module wiki page:
