What are you trying to do?

You know what you are trying to do but not what it is called here, and you would rather describe the problem than guess at a heading.

Written in the words you would use, not the words the documentation uses.

That distinction is the whole point of this page. A table of contents lists topics, which helps if you already know the name of the thing you need. The reader who most needs an index is the one who does not have that word yet — they have a symptom, or a goal, and no idea what it is called here.

Every line below is phrased the way someone says it out loud.

If none of these is you

Bring us your situation — it starts from where you got to rather than from what you were trying to do, which is the better entry point when something has already gone wrong.

That is worth telling us, and it is more useful than it sounds: a symptom nobody wrote down is a gap in this index, and the index is revised from exactly that evidence.

How this list gets better

Each entry records why it maps where it does. That reasoning is not decoration — it is what makes a wrong mapping revisable rather than replaceable, and it means a revision can name what the original claim was and why it turned out to be wrong.

When readers routed to a destination leave immediately, the mapping is a candidate for revision, and revisions are logged in public. The routing is expected to improve before the documentation grows, because a larger corpus with the same routing is just a bigger place to be lost in.
