We should have a page that directs a user to require modding knownledge no matter what is involved: binaries, BSL, XML, etc.
This could be structured like a tree diagram.
For visual / lazy / stupid people like me, "Introduction to modding" is far too textual.

You could start with basic levels and create forks on the subject.
Level | Settings (ONGS) Savegame slot Skybox, atmosphere, weather Level logic (BSL) Cutscenes Geometry | Static geometry, furniture Animated gemoetry Pickup objects Weapons Consoles - Text pages Doors Turrets FX (sounds and particle via TMBD and ONIE decision paths)
Character | Model (TRBS, custom TRIA) - texturing (TRMA) Movements (TRAC, TRAM) Player stuff AI - profiles, interactions, patrol path, alarms
Bonus: ultra cool community demo level with dedicated sections
- mixed H2H/gun fight pit
- cutscene area
- logic area (CONS, DOOR, TV, TURR, etc.)
- environmental showcasting (particle, textures, shading))
- ...
