'About' menu item different from the rest

[ghost]

The About menu item on Backdropcms.org is different from all the other top-level menu items in that its URL is different to that of the first sub-menu item.

'About' links to https://backdropcms.org/about, whereas the first sub-menu item ('Philosophy') links to https://backdropcms.org/philosophy.

Compare that with every other top-level menu item on the site:

• Add-ons/Backdrop Add-ons: https://backdropcms.org/add-ons
• Support/Backdrop support: https://backdropcms.org/support
• News/Blog: https://backdropcms.org/news

I think it'd be nice to be consistent here; whether that's changing the About menu, or all the others...

For my clarification, are you saying that the About menu is different from the other menus in that the first sub-menu item in the menu links to a different page than the top level menu item, whereas on the other menus, the first sub-menu item links to the same page as the top level menu item? i.e.:, the top level 'About' links to https://backdropcms.org/about and its first sub-menu item 'Philosophy' links to https://backdropcms.org/philosophy (as you mentioned). However, the top level 'Add-ons' and its first sub-menu item 'Backdrop Add-ons' both link to https://backdropcms.org/add-ons, etc.

If that's the case, I believe it would be better to change the other menus to have the first sub-menu item not be duplicates of the top level menu item.

@oadaeh Exactly.

Changing the other menu items would mean needing a new overview page for that sub-menu to link to. In the case of Add-ons, that's already what the first sub-menu item is. So I feel it might just be easier to add a new About sub-menu item to the About menu for consistency...
