Mod (video games) → Video game modding – Natural disambiguation, and for consistency with similar article names such as modding, video game development and video game design. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:08, 20 August 2021 (UTC) _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:08, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support There would need to be a small bit of change to the lede but this article covers the action of modding and the products of modding (the "mods"), so the non-disambiguated form is better. --Masem (t) 16:45, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Not much to add, natural disambiguation is good. -- ferret (talk) 17:08, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nominator, and also to avoid confusion with "Mod (video game)" which would mean a video game named "Mod". JIP | Talk 02:43, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

About adding Troll Mods/contriversy section[edit]

I was wondering if topics around how mods are used for bigoted or political reasons could be added into a section. I know there are several instances that have been reported on news sites about mods removing diverse characters and subjects. Pago95 (talk) 14:23, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
