The page addons is in the menu "the game" of the web page, but the page just shows that the article was deleted. It can not be created again. See about the deletion of the page on https://www.widelands.org/wiki/history/Add-Ons/

Having addons is a plus of the game and should be shown. (Also to those who just visit the page and do not yet have the game.)

Suggestion: Add a short text in the wiki page. It could explain that there are addons and how to find and install them in widelands. For creating them it would link to https://www.widelands.org/documentation/add-ons/

also reported as https://github.com/widelands/widelands-website/issues/478, just realised the delete note tells to report here.

I am not against your suggestion, but to be honest i would just remove the link from the menu. At least until we have a solution to gather some information from the add-ons server automatically and build a dynamic webpage (like we have for the tribes or the documentation). A page with a few sentences is not really helpful, imho.
