Thanks for the update, @maggierui! Good addition.

You have one mistake in what you added:

You can find out the internal filed name by going to [List Settings]...

I don't think you need the word field there in any case. Would you mid fixing that so I can accept the PR? I'd propose it read:

The internal name is not always the column name. You can find out the internal name by going to List Settings, choosing the column, and looking after the &Field= parameter in the URL. That's using a query string URL to help you make a query string URL!

Thanks @sympmarc for the feedback.
Can you let me know why the word field is not needed? To provide a little background on why I am working on this article: I am the SharePoint content portfolio manager under Magic for LMC and SMC SharePoint content. I normally work in Office-SharePoint-pr repo on learn.microsoft.com, and the SMC-Marvel repo on support.microsoft.com. One of our org's primary OKRs for this FY is to make sure our content is fresh. Any content that was reviewed 365 days ago is considered "unfresh." This month our freshness PowerBI report for SharePoint content somehow pulled this article in and marked it as "older than 365 days", which is considered unfresh. So I reviewed the entire article by testing all query strings, and this is the only place where I feel it may cause users' confusion, by saying "internal column name" instead of referring directly to the query variable of internalFieldName I wasn't sure whether I should have used internalFieldName or internal field name but I do think it is necessary to refer to exactly how this field is used in the query string. I would like to learn your thoughts on this. Thank you.

@sympmarc I see you added a label "Back to submitter" without explanation on why you think it is a mistake by including "field" - would you mind explaining the reason here? Thank you.
