Description

Go to e.g. https://recoilengine.org/articles/ via one of the links at the top:

There's just a big empty page there:

This seems to be because "Articles" is itself a standalone article, but it exists largely just as a category for aggregating the individual pages. It isn't completely terrible because the navigation bar on the left exists but it would be good if there weren't empty pages.

I don't have any specific suggestions. Putting a table of contents would be alright but then that duplicates with the navigation bar. Not having the page at all would also be alright but then the articles link (including hyperlinks already existing over the internet) gotta point _somewhere_.

Research direction

Start by opening the Articles page and following the top navigation links to compare the category pages with their left-hand navigation. Decide how category landing pages should provide a useful destination without leaving a large empty page, then verify that the Articles link and existing external links still lead somewhere appropriate.
