+    <h1>Counters</h1>
+    <p>
+      Counters are an advanced feature in Zeppelin that allows you keep track of per-user, per-channel, or global numbers and trigger specific actions based on this number.
+      Common use cases are infraction points, XP systems, activity roles, and so on.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      This guide will be expanded in the future. For now, it contains examples of common counter use cases.
+      Also see the <router-link to="/docs/plugins/counters">documentation for the Counters plugin.</router-link>
+    </p>
+
+    <h2>Examples</h2>
+
+    <h3>Infraction points</h3>
+    <p>
+      In this example, warns, mutes, and kicks all accumulate "infraction points" for a user.
+      When the user reaches too many points, they are automatically banned.
