Hey @wlthomson

I had a look at the first file and the last change before this one aligns with the modDate it already has.

If we change a modDate, we signal to search engines that there's a meaningful update to the content and if we send that signal without a content change, we look like we're trying to game an algorithm.

If there's not a change to accompany this date change, I'd recommend we don't do it.

Hey @steve-fenton-octopus.

All of the files I've updated here have been touched by #3195, which was merged on 2026-06-04. The date I've provided here is later than those changes, but all three files have modDates which don't reflect the changes made in that PR.

Re. the screenshot: it looks like you're browing a commit snapshot (not main), which might explain why you're not seeing the recent changes?

I've added suggested edits to set the date to 3rd June, which is when the edit was done.

I'm not sure why that didn't show up in the history I screen-shotted.

Thanks for adjusting those dates.
