That description is entered when you first go to Post Your Game, in the "Short description" field. Presently a user cannot update this field (editing the index information instead just allows you to enter "What's New" text). Similarly we only (presently) give users options for posting Games, external Links, ZoG files, and GC presets through the form.
If you want to send me descriptions for your games, I can insert them using the editor forms. If you want to post a page of a type other than those above, you can submit it as a Game and let us know that it should be changed to something else.
[It shouldn't be hard to change the scripts to allow users more flexibility. While it is probably preferable to not have game descriptions change too often, I don't think it would be bad to allow users to change them. The page Types, on the other hand, are a bit unclear, and I wouldn't advocate for full access for users. Perhaps they should be cleaned up anyway, and have this done before any changes to the user experience.]
