Thanks. Putting order in stuff is part of my job. 🙃

Yea. I seem to have repeatedly hit the hornet’s nest with a very large stick with this topic. 🐝

Yea, it stands out. I’ll give you that. It could just say “New Emacs User Tutorial”, but that would conflict a bit with the Emacs Tutorial right under it. Also, I know it’ll be seen as “new” as in “we didn’t do computers like that back in the day”, but most new users to apps expect a “click here” sorta thing. And I’m trying to reach them. So I’m open to how to do that. 🙃
