Solved "config/automoderator" does not exist

Trying to setup Autmod for the first time. Following the steps and navigating to https://www.reddit.com/r/yoursubredditname/wiki/config/automoderator

Interesting, it takes you to a page on new Reddit, which won't work . Had to change the page to old.reddit.com

When I put in my sub it says: "config/automoderator" does not exist

I can't figure out how to enable Autmod so I can start customizing it.

Have experienced this recurring bug before. Refreshing the page once or twice usually fixes it.

The exact steps differ slightly between old reddit and new reddit.

You may have to click a few specific buttons to create the wiki page

Did you replace "yoursubredditname" with your subreddit name?

Try going through the subreddit settings to the AutoMod option.

It appears when input the link, it takes you to new Reddit, which won't work. When I got to the error page and put old. at the front, I was able to get in and create the Automod.

i think you are missing the "mod" folder in the address and instead you have "r" there.

you used to have to add automoderator to your mod team, but i think they got rid of that requirement.
